Limits and Continuity
Suppose we know that . What can be said about
It exists but cannot be determined without further information about f near c from above.
It equals M because M is greater than or equal to f(x).
It equals m since m is less than or equal to f(x).
It does not exist because m is less than or equal to f(x).
What is the limit of as approaches 0?
1
0
1/2
Undefined
Which inequality set-up is required to use the Squeeze Theorem effectively for determining if you're given two other functions, g and h?
For all x near a, if we have then we need
For any values of x, if we have then we need
For all x near a, if we have then we need
When approaching any limit L, having inequalities like suffices for squeeze application
If and , which of the following must be true for as approaches zero?
The function is undefined at , so the squeeze theorem does not apply.
The limits of and have no relation to the limit of .
can be squeezed between and , showing .
Since oscillates, the squeeze theorem cannot apply to .
What does the Squeeze Theorem state?
If two functions are continuous, their limits are always zero.
If two functions have the same limit, their derivatives are also equal.
If two functions are bounded by a third function, their limits are also bounded.
If two functions have the same derivative, their limits are also equal.
What is the limit of as approaches 0?
0
Infinity

For what value of will the Squeeze Theorem confirm that , given that for all positive integers ?
Only integer values for k make the statement true due to periodic properties of cosine.
Only multiples of for k make this true to keep cosine from oscillating too much.
Any real number value for k makes the statement true because cosine values are bounded between -1 and 1.
There is no such k because cosine does not have limits at infinity.

If , , and for all x near a (except possibly at a), we have that with k being a positive constant, what can be said about the limit of if equals to ze...
It must also equal to zero.
It must equal to L.
It depends on the value of k.
It does not exist.
When applying the Squeeze Theorem to determine given that for all x, , what conclusion can we draw if any?
, Because x to the fourth power approaches positive infinity as x approaches negative infinity
, since both bounding functions approach zero
, Since x to the fourth power approaches negative infinity as x approaches negative infinity
No conclusion can be drawn because while sine squared approaches zero, x to the fourth power does not have an upper bound as x approaches negative infinity.
If is squeezed between and , what does this imply about according to the Squeeze Theorem?
There is not enough information to determine
