Question 23.
Find $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}$$ f(x) and $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}$$ f(x), where f(x) = .
Given, f(x) =
(i) Now, LHL = $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}}$$ f(x) = $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}}$$ (2x + 3)
= $$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}$$ [2 (0 – h) + 3] = 3
[putting x = 0 – h as x → 0, then h → 0]
RHL = $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}}$$ f(x) = $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}}$$ 3(x + 1)
= $$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}$$ [3(0 + h) + 1] = 3
[putting x = 0 + h as x → 0,then h → 0]J
Here, LHL = RHL
∴ $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}$$ f(x) = 3

(ii) We have to find $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}$$ f(x)
$$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}$$ f(x) = $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}$$ 3 (x + 1)
= 3 (1 + 1) = 6

Question 24.
Find $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}$$ f(x), where f(x) =
Given, f(x) =
At x = 1,
RHL = $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}}$$ f(x) = $$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}$$ f(1 + h)
=  (1 + h)2 – 1 [put x = 1 + h]
= – (1 + 0)2 – 1
= – 1 – 1 = – 2
LHL = $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}}$$ f(x) = $$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}$$ f(1 – h)
= $$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}$$ (1 – h)2 – 1 [put x = 1 – h]
= (1 – 0)2 – 1 = 1 – 1 = 0
RHL ≠ LHL
Hence, at x = 1 , limit does not exist.

Question 25.
Evaluate $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}$$ f(x), where f(x) = .

Question 26.
Find $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}$$ f(x), where f(x) = .

Question 27.
Find $$\lim _{h \rightarrow 5}$$ f(x), where f(x) = |x| – 5.
The given function is f(x) = |x| – 5
when x > 5, put x = 5 + h, where h is small
|x| = |5 + h| = 5 + h
∴ $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 5^{+}}$$ f(x) = $$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}$$ [(5 + h) – 5] = $$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}$$ h = 0
when x < 5, put x = 5 – h, where h is small
∴ |5 – h| = 5 – h
∴ $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 5^{-}}$$ f(x) = $$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}$$ (5 – h – 5) = $$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}$$ (- h) = 0
∴ $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 5^{-}}$$ f(x) = $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 5^{+}}$$ f(x) = 0
∴ $$\lim _{h \rightarrow 5}$$ f(x) = 0

Question 28.
Suppose f(x) = and if $$\lim _{h \rightarrow 1}$$ f(x) = f(1) what are possible values of a and b ?
The given function is f(x) =
$$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}}$$ f(x) = $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}$$ (a + bx) = a + b
$$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}}$$ f(x) = $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}$$ (b – ax) = b – a
f(1) = 4
It is given that $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}$$ f(x) = f(1).
∴ $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}}$$ f(x) = $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}}$$ f(x)
= $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}$$ f(x) = f(1)
a + b = 4 and b – a = 4.
On solving these two equations, we obtain a = 0 and b = 4.
Thus, the respective possible values of a and b are 0 and 4.

Question 29.
Let a1, a2, ………. a, be fixed real numbers and define a function f(x) = (x – a1) (x – a2) ………….. (x – an). What is $$\lim _{x \rightarrow a_{1}}$$ f(x)? For some a ≠ a1, a2, ………………. an compute $$\lim _{x \rightarrow a}$$ f(x).
If the function f(x) satisfies $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{f(x)-2}{x^{2}-1}$$ = π, evaluate $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}$$ f(x).
If f(x) = For what integers m and n does $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}$$ f(x) and $$\lim _{x \rightarrow 1}$$ f(x) exist?
