Tutorial 2dddd

This document contains a calculus tutorial with 9 questions covering various limit concepts and theorems. Question 1 asks to find 5 limits or explain why they do not exist. Question 2 calculates 7 limits and discusses the continuity of each function. Question 3 finds the value of c that makes a piecewise function continuous. Question 4 finds values of a and b to make another piecewise function continuous. Question 5 uses the Intermediate Value Theorem to show roots in given intervals. Questions 6-7 deal with properties of polynomial equations. Questions 8 specifies δ values corresponding to ε. Question 9 proves 4 limits using the ε-δ definition of a limit.
