    Calculus 1 Limits Assignment

    1. Find the limit.

    (a) lim 5
    x→4

    x2 − 49
    (b) lim
    x→7 x − 7
    √ √
    2+x− 2
    (c) lim
    x→0 x
    sin(5x)
    (d) lim
    x→0 sin(9x)
    9(1 − cos x)
    (e) lim
    x→0 x
     
    7
    (f) lim x sin
    x→0 x2

    2. Find two functions f (x) and g(x) such that lim f (x) and lim g(x) do not exist but
    x→0 x→0
    lim (f (x) + g(x)) does.
    x→0

    3. Suppose 7 − x − x2 ≤ f (x) ≤ 7 + x + x2 for all x. Find lim f (x).


    x→0

    4. Prove that if lim f (x) = 0 and |g(x)| ≤ M for a fixed M and all x 6= 0, then lim f (x)g(x) = 0.
    x→0 x→0
    Hint: Use the Squeeze theorem.
    Solutions
    1. (a) 5

    1. (b) Factor the numerator, the limit is 14.

    √
    2
    1. (c) Rationalize the numerator, the limit is .

    sin(5x) 5 sin(5x) 9x 5 5
    1. (d) lim = lim = (1)(1) = .
    x→0 sin(9x) 9 x→0 5x sin(9x) 9 9

    1. (e) 0

    1. (f ) Note 0 ≤ x sin ≤ |x|(1) = |x|. Since lim 0 = 0 and lim |x| = 0, by the
    x2  x→0
     x→0
    
    7 7
    Squeeze Theorem we have lim x sin = 0. This implies lim x sin = 0.
    x→0 x2 x→0 x2

    2. One example can be obtained by taking f (x) = and g(x) = − . Then neither lim f (x)
    x x x→0
    nor lim g(x) exist but,
    x→0  
    1 1
    lim (f (x) + g(x)) = lim − = lim 0 = 0.
    x→0 x→0 x x x→0

    3. Just let x → 0 on both the left and right hand sides of the inequality and you will see the
    limit is 7 in each case. By the squeeze theorem lim f (x) = 7 as well.
    x→0

    4. Proof. Note 0 ≤ |f (x)g(x)| ≤ f (x)M for all x 6= 0. Since lim 0 = 0 and lim f (x)M = 0M = 0
    x→0 x→0
    by the Squeeze Theorem lim |f (x)g(x)| = 0. This implies lim f (x)g(x) = 0.
    x→0 x→0
