Ari knows lim f(x) = 4 and lim g(x) = -2 as x → 1. What is the limit of 3f(x) − g(x) as x → 1?
Esme knows lim f(x) = -1 and lim g(x) = -6 as x → 0. What is the limit of 4f(x) − 2g(x) as x → 0?
Jun knows lim f(x) = 7 and lim g(x) = -1 as x → 3. What is the limit of 2f(x) − 5g(x) as x → 3?
Kira finds the limit of x² + 3x − 1 as x → -2. A polynomial is smooth, so substitution works. What is the limit?
Luz finds the limit of x² − 2x + 4 as x → -3. A polynomial is smooth, so substitution works. What is the limit?
Milo finds the limit of x² + 5x + 2 as x → -1. A polynomial is smooth, so substitution works. What is the limit?
Noah finds the limit of x² + 1x + 6 as x → -4. A polynomial is smooth, so substitution works. What is the limit?
Pia finds the limit of √(x + 16) as x → 9. The root law says the limit goes inside. What is the limit?
Ren finds the limit of √(x + 64) as x → 36. The root law says the limit goes inside. What is the limit?
Zee finds the limit of √(x + 8) as x → 1. The root law says the limit goes inside. What is the limit?
