Question 1
The limit of f(x) as x → c exists if and only if:
- Af(c) is defined
- Bthe left-hand and right-hand limits both exist and are equal
- Cthe right-hand limit exists
- Df is a polynomial
Show answerHide answer
Answer: B
lim f(x) = L iff lim from the left = lim from the right = L.
Question 2
Which of the following is NOT one of the three conditions for continuity at x = c?
- Af(c) is defined
- Blim f(x) exists as x → c
- Clim f(x) = f(c)
- Df is differentiable at c
Show answerHide answer
Answer: D
Continuity needs only: f(c) defined, the limit exists, and the limit equals f(c). Differentiability is not required.
Question 3
The notation lim f(x) as x → c⁻ denotes:
- Athe left-hand limit
- Bthe right-hand limit
- Cthe two-sided limit
- Dthe value f(c)
Show answerHide answer
Answer: A
x → c⁻ means x approaches c from values less than c.
Question 4
If any one of the three conditions for continuity fails at x = c, then f is:
- Acontinuous at c
- Bdifferentiable at c
- Cdiscontinuous at c
- Dconstant near c
Show answerHide answer
Answer: C
A function failing any one condition is discontinuous at that point.
Question 5
For f(x) = 2x² + x − 5, the left-hand and right-hand limits at x = 1 are:
- Aboth 2
- Bboth −2
- C−2 and 2
- Dboth 0
Show answerHide answer
Answer: B
2(1) + 1 − 5 = −2 from both sides.
