AP Calculus BC : 1.2 Defining Limits and Using Limit Notation- Exam Style questions with Answer- MCQ

Question

A function 

satisfies  .Which of the following could be the graph of 

f ?

A

B

C

D

Answer/Explanation

Ans:C

In this graph, the values of 

f(x)

approach 6 as

x

  approaches 3 from the left and as x approaches 3 from the right; that is  Since the one-sided limits have the common value 6,

Question

Let f be the function given by \(f(x)=\frac{e^{3x}-1}{x}\) for

x0

. Which of the following equations expresses the property that f(x) can be made arbitrarily close to 3 by taking x

x

 sufficiently close to 0, but not equal to 0 ?

A f(0)=3

B

C

D

Answer/Explanation

Ans:C

This is the correct notation that the limit of f(x

)

 is 3 as x approaches 0 (but is not equal to 0 where 

f

 

Question

The function

f

has the property that as 

x

gets closer and closer to 3, the values of 

f(x)

 get closer and closer to 5. Which of the following statements must be true?

A f(3)=5

B f(5)=3

C

D

Answer/Explanation
