14 Your Turn 5 Suppose and Use the limit rules to find Solution:

15 Your Turn 6 Solution: Rule 4 cannot be used here, since The numerator also approaches 0 as x approaches −3, and 0/0 is meaningless. For x ≠ − 3 we can, however, simplify the function by rewriting the fraction as Now Rule 7 can be used.

20 Your Turn 8 Solution: Here, the highest power of x (in the denominator) is x2, which is used to divide each term in the numerator and denominator.

31 Your Turn 1 Find all values x = a where the function is discontinuous. Solution: This root function is discontinuous wherever the radicand is negative. There is a discontinuity when 5x + 3 < 0

32 Your Turn 2 Find all values of x where the piecewise function is discontinuous. Solution: Since each piece of this function is a polynomial, the only x-values where f might be discontinuous here are 0 and 3. We investigate at x = 0 first. From the left, where x-values are less than 0, From the right, where x-values are greater than 0 Continued

33 Your Turn 2 Continued Because the limit does not exist, so f is discontinuous at x = 0 regardless of the value of f(0). Now let us investigate at x = 3. Thus, f is continuous at x = 3.
