Create a function that has the following properties. Make sure to prove your function has these properties by evaluating the specific limits, and by showing your work and justification. a. The lim $→& 𝑓(𝑥) = D.N. E. Make sure to evaluate both the left sided limit and right sided limit. b. For the same function, the lim $→0 𝑓(𝑥) exists, but 𝑓(2) is undefined.

YOU CREATE YOUR OWN FUNCTION & WILL TELL YOU IF YOU GOT RIGHT.!!!!, GOOD LUCK.

I'm assuming that in (a) you're asking to prove that the limit of the function as it approaches positive/neg infinity  DNE....if so, we have this possibility

 

f(x) = x^2 / (x - 2)

 

lim             x^2 / (x - 2)        divide each term by x

x → inf

 

lim      x / (1  -  2 / x)  = ( inf ) / (1 - 2/ inf)  = ( inf ) / ( 1 - 0)  = (inf) / 1  = inf  = DNE

x → inf

 

By the same token.......as  lim f(x)→ neg inf  =  -inf / 1   = -inf  = DNE

 

 

(b)  The limit as x → 0  from both sides = 0.....but....the function does not exist at x = 2 because the denominator  = 0 at that point

 

Here's the graph.......https://www.desmos.com/calculator/zb8jv6lzn8
