Instructions:
These questions are here for you to demonstrate your understanding of the course material.
To do that, show all relevant supporting work to receive full credit on all Problems unless explicitly stated not to.
Incorrect answers with substantially correct work may receive partial credit.
Answers without justification will receive no credit.
Using a table of values or L’Hôpitals Rule are not justification for computing limits.
Using graphs not given in this assignment are not justification.
Give exact answers unless instructed to do otherwise.
Intervals should be expressed simplified in interval notation.
If a requested value does not exist, write “DNE”. Write that limits “DNE” only if they do not exist and are neither 1 nor
1.
