In exercises 1 - 10, use the precise definitions to prove the given limits.
1) \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 0}\frac{1}{x^2}= \infty\)
2) \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \to −1}\frac{3}{(x+1)^2}= \infty\)
- Answer
- Let \( \delta =\sqrt{\frac{3}{N}}\). If \(0 <|x+1| <\sqrt{\frac{3}{N}}\), then \(f(x)=\frac{3}{(x+1)^2} >N\).
3) \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 2} −\frac{1}{(x −2)^2}= − \infty\)
4) \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \to \pi^+} \ln{(x −\pi)}= − \infty\)
5) \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{2}{x^6} = 0\)
6) \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -\infty} -\frac{5}{x^3} = 0\)
7) \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \to \infty} a x^6 = \infty \), where \( a \gt 0 \)
8) \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -\infty} (-10 + 2 x^5) = -\infty \)
9) \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -\infty} e^{-x} = \infty \)
10) \(\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -\infty} e^{x} = 0 \)
