Q1. (a). Construct a table of values of function f(x) = (x^2+x+2)/(x+1) when x is sufficiently close to 1.
Evaluate the limit of f(x) as x approaches to 1.Sketch the graph of functions together with the
point(1,2) and draw the lines between the point (1,0),(1,2) and (0,2).

In[56]:= Limit[(x ^ 2 + x + 2) / (x + 1), x → 1]

Out[56]=

Observation:
The function approaches 2 as x gets closer to 1.This behavior indicates that the function is continu-
ous at x=1, and its limit at this point is well defined.

Observations:
1. The function f(x) is continuous and smooth near x=1,passing through point (1,2).
2. Line between point (1,2) and (0,2) form a horizontal segment on the graph.

Q.1(b). Construct a table of values of function f(x)=5x-3 when x is sufficiently close to 2. Evaluate the
limit of the function together with a limiting point.

2.1 7.5

Observations:
The table displays x-values close to 2 and their corresponding f(x) values,the values of f(x ) approach
close to limit. This verifies the continuity of the function at x=2.

In[59]:= Limit5 x - 3, x → 2
Out[59]=

Observations:
Since f(x) is a linear function ,the limit exists and is simply the value of f(x) at x=2. This should return
f(x)=2.

Observations:
The graph of the function is a straight line since it is a linear function. The point (2,7) is clearly
marked , showing the limiting behavior as x->2.

Q 2. Use table/limit command to find the limit of following functions. Verify your answers by plotting
the graph of the function in the neighbourhood of limit point.
(a). Cos(1/x) as x approaches 0

In[61]:= Limit[Cos[1 / x], x → 0]

Out[61]=
Indeterminate

In[62]:=

Observations:
The limit is indeterminate due to oscillatory nature of Cos(1/x) as x approaches to 0.
