2020 Tutorial 1 MAT3611

This document contains a calculus tutorial question with multiple parts. It asks students to (1) identify whether given relations are functions and specify their domains and ranges if so, (2) calculate limits of various functions and discuss continuity, (3) find δ values corresponding to ε values for a limit, and (4) prove limits using the ε-δ definition of a limit.

Calculate the limits where they exist of the following functions, and clearly
indicate why, when they do not exist.
I.
𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + 5 𝑡2 − 9 𝑥+2
(𝑎) lim (𝑏) lim 2 (𝑐) lim 3
𝑥→5 𝑥−5 𝑥→−3 2𝑡 + 7𝑡 + 3 𝑥→−2 𝑥 + 8

(3 + ℎ)−1 − 3−1 𝑥4 − 1 2𝑥 − 1
(𝑑) lim (𝑒) lim { 𝑥 + 1 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 ≠ −1 (f) lim−

𝑥→2 𝑥→1 1 𝑖𝑓𝑥 ≥ 0

II. For every limit calculated in I. discuss the continuity of the function at the
specified point.

III. Illustrate the precise definition of limits by finding the values of 𝛿 that
correspond to the given values of 𝜀

lim 𝑥 + 3 = 2 𝜀 = 1; ε = 0.01
𝑥→−2 2

IV. Prove the statement using the 𝜀, 𝛿 definition of the limit

9 − 4𝑥 2
(𝑎) lim (1 − 4𝑥) = 13 (𝑏) lim (3𝑥 + 5) = −1 (𝑐) lim ( )=6
𝑥→−3 𝑥→−2 𝑥→−1.5 3 + 2𝑥
(𝑑) lim 𝑥 = 𝑎
𝑥→𝑎
