1-7. Find the limit, if it exists, or show that the limit does not exist.
1.
<Solution from Cal-Book>
Let and along the line . So the limit of does not exist. For example, for , and for , .
<Detailed Solution>
Let , so that when . Therefore the limit,
.
The limit does not depend on or ; thus, there is no limit.

<Solution from Cal-Book>
As and , .
The limit exists, and it is .
<Detailed Solution>
Let and , so that when . Therefore the limit,
The limit does exist, and it is 0.

<Cal-Book Solution>
Answer: The limit does not exist.
<Detailed Solution>
Let , so that when . Therefore the limit,
The limit does not depend on or , thus, there is no limit.

<Cal-Book Solution>
After plotting the function, we know it converges. So the order of and does not matter.
<Detailed Solution>
The limit does not exist.
6.
After plotting the function, we know it converges.
Let and along the line .
Answer : 0

So .
The limit exists, and it is .
8. What value of for will make the function continuous at .
=>
Since , then by Squeeze Theorem.
Hence, if we define , will be continuous at .
9-10. Let each of the following functions have the value 0 at the origin.
Which of them are continuous at the origin? Explain your answer.
9.

The limit exists and it is . So is continuous at the origin. 10. http://matrix.skku.ac.kr/cal-lab/cal-12-1-9.html
The limit does not exist.
11-12. Find and the set on which is continuous.
11. ,
Since is continuous for all and is continuous for all ,
is continuous on a set by using Theorem 5 in Section 13.2.
12. ,
Since is continuous for all and is continuous for all ,
is continuous on a set by using Theorem 5 in Section 13.2.
