Estimating Limit Values from Tables Quiz

1. NO CALCULATOR IS ALLOWED FOR THIS QUESTION.

Show all of your work, even though the question may not explicitly remind you to do so. Clearly label any
functions, graphs, tables, or other objects that you use. Justifications require that you give mathematical reasons,
and that you verify the needed conditions under which relevant theorems, properties, definitions, or tests are
applied. Your work will be scored on the correctness and completeness of your methods as well as your answers.
Answers without supporting work will usually not receive credit.

Unless otherwise specified, answers (numeric or algebraic) need not be simplified. If your answer is given as a
decimal approximation, it should be correct to three places after the decimal point.

Unless otherwise specified, the domain of a function is assumed to be the set of all real numbers for which
is a real number.

The graphs of the functions and are shown above on the interval .

(a) Write a difference quotient that best approximates the instantaneous rate of change of at .

(b) Let be the function defined by . Find the value of or explain why the limit does
not exist. Use correct limit notation in your answer.

(c) Let be the function defined by . Consider and . Determine whether


is continuous at each of these values. Justify your answers using correct limit notation.

(d) Values of at selected values of are given in the table below. What type of discontinuity does have
at ? Based on the values in the table, what is a reasonable estimate for ? Give a reason for your
answer.
