    Section 1.6

    Can you do 59 as a guide for me to do 60?

    lim((f(x)-8)/(x-1), x->1)=10, find lim(f(x)) as x->1

    use quotient rule

    lim((f(x)-8), x->1)/lim(x-1, x->1)=10

    lim((f(x)-8), x->1)=10*lim(x-1, x->1)..........for left side use difference rule

    lim((f(x), x->1)- lim(8, x->1)=10*lim(x-1, x->1)............lim(8, x->1)=8

    lim((f(x), x->1)-8=10*lim(x-1, x->1)......lim(x-1, x->1)=0

    lim((f(x), x->1)=10*0+8

    lim((f(x), x->1)=8

    I tried doing 60 a few times. I give up. My work is not even close to what you did on 59. I am lost. Can you please do 60?

    if lim (f(x)/x^2)=5 as x->0, find following limits

    use quotient rule

    so, lim (f(x))/lim(x^2)=5 as x->0

    a.

    lim (f(x))/lim(x^2)=5

    lim (f(x))=5 lim(x^2) .....as x->0

    lim (f(x))=5 lim(0^2) =5*0=0


    b.

    lim (f(x)/x) as x->0

    lim (f(x)/x)=lim (f(x))/lim(x) ...as x->0

    substitute lim (f(x))=0...as x->0

    lim (f(x))/lim(x) ...as x->0=lim 0/lim(0)=0
