lim (-->infinite) f(x)/g(x)= infinite

c (>, < or =) to ________ and n (>, < or =) to ________ .

2.)The function

f(x)= -4·x^2+4 if x >(and equal to) -2
d-x if x -2

is continuous at x=-2 if and only if d = _______________

3.) The set of all points of discontinuity of the function

sorry..hope you understand the notations...

2. sorry, can't understand your post..

3. sorry..i edited it..hope you understand it now

4. Hello,

1. )Let f(x)=3 ·x^9 -10 ·x^3 +2 and g(x)=c·x^n -7 ·x^3 +18 with c cannot = 0. Then

lim (-->infinite) f(x)/g(x)= infinite

c (>, < or =) to ________ and n (>, < or =) to ________ .
$Polynomial=a_n x^n+a_{n-1} x^{n-1}+\dots+a_1 x+a_0$

$a_n \neq 0$

$a_n$ is the leading coefficient.
$n$ is the degree of the polynomial.

The limit of the quotient of two polynomials is :

- infinity if the degree of the polynomial above is superior to the degree of the polynomial below. The sign of it depends on the leading coefficient.
- the quotient of the leading coefficients if the leading coefficients above and below are the same.
- 0 if the degree of the polynomial below is superior to the degree of the polynomial above.

2.)The function

f(x)= -4·x^2+4 if x >(and equal to) -2
d-x if x -2

is continuous at x=-2 if and only if d = _______________
For this to be continuous, you must have :

$\lim_{x \to 2^-} f(x)= \lim_{x \to 2^+} f(x)$

$\Longleftrightarrow \lim_{x \to 2} \ d-x=\lim_{x \to 2} \ -4x^2+4$

Just replace and find the value of d

3.) The set of all points of discontinuity of the function

g(x)= x+4 / x^2-16

equals
a) {4}
b) {4,-4 }
c) {-4 }
Change the denominator into $x^2-16=(x-4)(x+4)$.
Simplify, and then conclude

5. i don't get the 2nd question...how do i replace and find the value of d?...
