§ 12.2. Limits and Continuity.

  1. Find the limit if it exists, or show that the limit does not exist.

(a) lim   →   

  

  

The limit does not exist: Consider the limit along    and   

 .

(b) lim   →   

  

 

The limit does not exist: Consider the limit along (^)    and (^)   

 .

(c) lim   →   

(sol1)  ≤  

  

 sin

  ≤ sin^

  since  

  

≤ . And sin^

  →  as   → .

By the Squeeze theorem, (^) lim

  →   

  

 sin

   .

(sol2) We are enough to show that ∀   ∃   such that if  ≺ ^

So, if we choose    and let  ≺ ^

  

   , then ^  

  

(d) (^) lim

  

 cos

The limit does not exist: Consider the limit along    and   

 .

(e) (^) lim

  →   

  

The limit does not exist. Consider -axis and   

 lines. ⅰ) On the -axis,     for

 ≠ , so   → as  → ^ along the -axis. ⅱ) Approaching ^ along the curve   

gives  

     

  

for  ≠ , so along this path   →  

as  → .

Since ⅰ) ≠ ⅱ), the limit does not exist. □

2. Show that the function  given by     ^ is continuous on 

Consider    ≤   .

Let    be given. Take    so that for all       ,              ≤       .

(d) Does the result of part (c) contradict Clairaut's Theorem?

Now as  → ^ along the -axis,

 and Clairaut's Theorem is not applied. So there is no contradiction.

  ^ doesn't exist (consider the limit along the x-axis and
