Question 1
Let f and g be functions such that lim f (x) = 1 and lim g(x) = −5.
x→0 x→0
Study the following calculation and answer the questions below.
a) Name the limit laws that are used to accomplish the steps (1), (2) and (3)
in the above calculation.
b) Fill the dots above, i.e Complete the calculation to determine the numerical value
of the limit.

Question 2
f (x + h) − f (x)
Limits of the form lim occur frequently in Calculus because of
h→0 h
their connection with secant lines, tangents and instantaneous rates.
Evaluate this limit for each given function and x value below.
a) f (x) = x2 , x=1
b) f (x) = x2 , x = −2
c) f (x) = 3x − 4, x=2
