Solutions to Odd-Numbered Exercises

1. If [latex]f[/latex] is a polynomial function, the limit of a polynomial function as [latex]x[/latex] approaches [latex]a[/latex] will always be [latex]f\left(a\right)[/latex].

3. It could mean either (1) the values of the function increase or decrease without bound as [latex]x[/latex] approaches [latex]c[/latex], or (2) the left and right-hand limits are not equal.

5. [latex]\frac{-10}{3}[/latex]

7. 6

9. [latex]\frac{1}{2}[/latex]

11. 6

13. does not exist

15. [latex]-12[/latex]

17. [latex]-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{10}[/latex]

19. [latex]-108[/latex]
