c. The table shows that as x approaches 1 from left or right, f(x) approaches -3.
d. The table shows that as the value of x decreases the value of f(x) increases.
2. Given the table of values below, what is the value of f(x) if x = 2.99999?

a. 6.0111 b. 9.99992876 c. 10.0001 d. 10.51

3. Given the table of values below, what is the value of f(x) if x = 3.00001?

a. 10.00006 b. 10.51 c. 13.25 d. 13.99

4. What do the tables in items 2 and 3 show based on their limit values?
a. The tables show that as x approaches 3 from the left or right, f(x) approaches to the same
value of 10.
b. The tables show that as x approaches -3 from the left and 3 from the right, f(x) approaches to
the same value.
c. The tables show that as the value of x increases, f(x) decreases.
d. The tables show that as the value of x decreases, f(x) increases.
5. Does the limit exist for this function as x approaches to 3?
a. No, only left hand limit exist. c. Yes. Both hand limit exist
b. No, only right hand limit exist. d. No limit exist.
6. Which of the following expressions follow the limit of a constant?

x =2 c. lim x =4
x →2

b. lim

7. Which of the following illustrates the Multiplication Theorem?
P P
a. lim ( f ( x ) ) =lim ( f ( x )) =L
P

x →c x→ c

b. lim f ( x )=L
x →c

c. lim

8. What theorem states that the limit of a sum/difference of functions is the sum/difference of the
limits of the individual functions?
a. The Summing Up Theorem c. The Addition/Subtraction Theorem
b. Limitless Theorem d. The Add On Theorem
9. How is the Division Theorem written in symbols if it states that the limit of a quotient of functions is
equal to the quotient of the limits of the individual functions, provided the denominator limit is not
equal to 0?

a.

b.

c.

d.
√
10. The Radical/Rooth Theorem lim √ f ( x)= lim f ( x)=√ L, in words it states that:
n n n

x →c x→ c
a. If n is a negative integer, the limit of the nth root of a function is just the nth root of the limit
of the function, provided the nth root of the limit is a real number. Thus, it is important to
keep in mind that if n is even, the limit of the function must be positive.
b. If n is a positive integer, the limit of the nth root of a function is just the nth root of the limit
of the function, provided the nth root of the limit is a real number. Thus, it is important to
keep in mind that if n is even, the limit of the function must be positive.
c. If n is a positive integer, the limit of the nth root of a function is just the limit of the function,
provided the nth root of the limit is a negative number.
d. If n is a even integer, the limit of the nth root of a function is just the nth root of the limit of
the function, provided the nth root of the limit is a real number. Thus, it is important to keep
in mind that if n is odd, the limit of the function must be negative.
