  1. Question 1

    The limit of f(x) as x approaches a is L means that:

    • Af(a) must equal L
    • Bf(x) gets arbitrarily close to L as x approaches a from both sides
    • Cf(x) is always greater than L near a
    • Dx must equal a
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    lim f(x) = L describes the behaviour of f near a (from left and right); f need not even be defined at a.

  2. Question 2

    If lim f(x) = L and lim g(x) = M as x → a, then lim [f(x) + g(x)] equals:

    • AL·M
    • BL − M
    • CL/M
    • DL + M
    Show answer

    Answer: D

    The limit of a sum is the sum of the limits.

  3. Question 3

    If lim f(x) = L as x → a and k is a constant, then lim [k f(x)] equals:

    • AkL
    • BL + k
    • CL/k
    • Dk + f(a)
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    A constant factor can be taken outside the limit.

  4. Question 4

    If lim f(x) = L and lim g(x) = M, then lim f(x)·g(x) equals:

    • AL + M
    • BL/M
    • CL·M
    • DL − M
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    The limit of a product is the product of the limits.

  5. Question 5

    The limit of a quotient lim f(x)/g(x) equals L/M provided that:

    • AL ≠ 0
    • BM ≠ 0
    • CL = M
    • DM = 0
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    The limit of the denominator must be non-zero.
