1. Evaluate the function f = ( )
x + 1 − 1 at several points near x = 0 and use the results to
x
estimate the limit lim .
x →0 x +1 −1

2. Use the Squeeze Theorem to show that (i) lim x 4 cos = 0 (ii) lim+ x 1 + sin 2 ( 2π x ) =
0
x →0 x x →0
(ii) lim x − ln ( x 2 + 1)
tan (π 2 ) x
(i) lim ( 2 − x )
x →1 x →∞
4. Determine all the critical points (if any) of the following function. Use any method to find the
relative extrema of the function f.
(i) f (=
x ) ln 2 + x3 (ii) f ( x=
) 3x − x 2
