1. (2 points each) Given the functions f (x) = x2 + 2x, g(x) = , h(x) = √ ,
x2 + 2x + 3 2 − sin x
find the followings:

(a) Domain(f ) = R (d) Range(f ) = [−1, ∞)


(b) Domain(g) = R (e) Range(g) = (0, 1/2]

(c) Domain(h) = R (f) Range(h) = [1/ 3, 1]

2. (2 points each) Write TRUE (T) / FALSE (F) in the corresponding box.

(b) For any function f which is defined on R if f (x) > x for any x > 100, then
lim f (x) = ∞.

3. (10 points) Show that the function f (x) = √ has the oblique

asymptote y = x + 2 as x → ∞.

We prove the claim by showing that the following limit is equal to zero.

lim f (x)−(x+2) = lim √ −x−2 = lim √ = lim 3/2 =0

4. (10 points) Show that the equation 2

x (x − 4)3
We put f (x) = x12 + (x−4) 1
3 , then observe that f (1) = 26/27 and f (3) = −8/9. Since f

is continuous on the interval [1, 3], by the IVT we have zero of the function f in the interval
[1, 3], hence in the interval (0, 4).

5. (8 points each) Evaluate the following limits, if they exist, without using the L’Hopital’s
Rule.

Now, we observe the following calculations: lim cos(1/ x) = 1 and
x→∞

lim x2 sin(1/x2 ) =
x→∞

sin(1/x2 )
 
2 + sin(h)
= lim = We put h = 1/x , h → 0 ⇐⇒ x → ∞ = lim =1
x→∞ 1/x2 h→0+ h
Another limit calculation is the following:

sin(1/x2 )
 
2 +
lim x sin(1/x ) = lim = We put h = 1/x, h → 0 ⇐⇒ x → ∞
x→∞ x→∞ 1/x

sin(h2 ) h sin(h2 )
= lim+ = lim+ = 0.1 = 0
h→0 h h→0 h2
So, we obtain the following:

and for any x ∈ R − {0} we have

Since lim ± sin2 x = 0, by the Sandwich Theorem, we get lim sin2 x sin( x1 ) = 0. Hence,

6. (4 points) Find two functions f and g so that lim f (x) − g(x) = ∞ and lim = 1.
x→∞ x→∞ g(x)

f (x) = x2 + x

g(x) = x2
f (x) x2 +x
Clearly lim f (x) − g(x) = lim x2 + x − x2 = ∞ and lim = lim 2 = 1.
x→ ∞ x→ ∞ x→ ∞ g(x) x→ ∞ x

8. (12 points) The graph of f (x) = x4 − 32 x + 163
and the graph of g(x) = 12x − 15 in-
tersect at exactly one point and f (x) ≥ g(x) for any x ∈ R. Find the point of intersection
of these graphs.

Regarding to the information given in the quesition, the graphs of f and g have to be tan-
0 0
gent at the point of intersection. So, we solve the equation f (x) = g (x), i.e. 4x3 − 32 = 12
leading to the solution x = 3/2. The point of intersection is, now, (3/2, g(3)) = (3/2, 3).
