Limits and Continuity
How can estimating limit values from tables help in understanding limits?
It determines the instantaneous rate of change of a function.
It allows for a direct calculation of the exact limit value.
It eliminates the need for algebraic manipulations.
It provides a visual representation of how a function behaves near a given point.
What is the value of f(x) when x = 3.001, based on the table?
0.16393
0.16664
Undefined
0.16639
How should the x-values be chosen when creating a table to estimate a limit value?
They should be random values within the domain of the function.
They should get infinitely close to the target value.
They should be integers.
They should have equal increments.
Which x-value should be chosen as the first entry in the table when estimating a limit value?
A value slightly less than the target value.
The target value itself.
Any random value within the domain of the function.
A value slightly greater than the target value.
What can be inferred about if a table shows steadily increasing without bound as approaches from the right?
The exact value of .
Positive infinity ()
Zero ()
Negative infinity ()
When estimating a limit value from a table, why is it important to choose x-values that get infinitely close to the target value?
It guarantees that the limit value will be exactly equal to the function value at the target value.
It simplifies the calculation of the limit value.
It allows us to observe the behavior of the function as x approaches the target value.
It ensures that the limit value is always zero.
When using a finite difference method with equally spaced intervals to approximate based on tabled values, how does doubling the distance between points affect your estimate?
The estimate becomes four times less precise due to quadratic relationship in second derivatives.
There's no significant change if all original points were equidistantly placed.
The estimate's precision doubles since larger intervals reveal broader trends.
Doubling distances makes estimates precisely twice as inaccurate due to linearity assumption failure.
