1. Try the following commands (at the prompt and press Enter ):

(a) x = sym(’x’)
(b) f = xˆ2
(c) limit(f, 2)
(d) limit(f, inf)
(e) limit(1/x, inf)
(f) limit(log(abs(x)), 0)
(g) limit(1/x, 0)
(h) Explain what happened in each example, that is, why did it give the answer it did.

2. Use M AT L AB to find the limits of the following functions at the given points:

(a) at x = 0 (Type as: limit(sqrt(x), 0))
    
(b) at x = 0 (Type as: limit(sqrt(xˆ2 - .00001), 0))

(c) at x = -1 (Type as: limit(sqrt(x) , -1))

(d)  at x = inf (Type as: limit(sin(x), inf))

(e)  at x = 0 (Type as: limit(sin(1/x), 0))
(f) Explain what happened in each example.

3. Prepare a brief (< 1 page) written report answering all the questions. Use complete sentences
and standard mathematical notation. Do not get a printout.

The user encounters usual limits, limits at infinity and infinite limits, complex limits and
oscillatory functions.
