2.3, #4. Given Problem.

Find:
2.3, #4. Given Problem.
Direct substitution works just fine. After simplifying the results, we have the limit.

2.3, #20. Given Problem.

Find this limit (if it exists):
2.3, #20. Given Problem.
Direct substitution does not work. We factor the second denominator, and work toward getting a common denominator.
Then we combine the two fractions.
Now substitution works.

2.3, #34. Given Problem.

2.3, #34. Given Problem.
Part (a)(i).
The right hand limit acts as if there were no absolute value in the denominator.
Part (a)(ii).
The left had limit gives us the opposite sign in the denominator as the last part.
Part (b).
No limit can exist, because the left-hand limit and the right-hand limits do not agree.
Part (c).

The graph confirms our findings above. The left and right-hand limits do not agree. Therefore there is no limit of the function as x approaches 1.
