Limits From Tables

This document contains a math worksheet with problems involving limits. Problem 1 has students calculate limits of three functions as x approaches 3 from both sides and directly. Problem 2 involves using a graph to find six different limits. Problem 3 defines a piecewise function and asks students to sketch its graph and find three limits. Problem 4 has students calculate nine different limits of various functions.

2. Use the following graph to find each of the following. If a limit does not exist, write DNE.

(a) f (1) (c) lim+ f (x) (e) f (7)


x4

(b) lim f (x) (d) lim f (x) (f) lim f (x)


x4 x4 x7

x + 3 if x < 2
3. Let f be the function defined by f (x) = 3 if x = 2
2
x + 6x 3 if x > 2

(a) Sketch the graph of f .
