# Math Help - use sequences to guess which points of f has a limit

1. ## use sequences to guess which points of f has a limit

Sorry this is the last question i was confused with on my new review sheet. However I'm pretty sure I wont figure this answer out as soon as i post (sorry about that) so im sure this time i need help

Define f : R->R as follows:

f(x)= 8x if x is a rational number
f(x)= 2 $x^2$+8 if x is an irrational number.

use sequences to guess at which points f has a limit, then use $\epsilon$'s and $delta$'s to justify your conclusions.

Consider sequences of rational and irrational points respectively.

idk what it is, but im drawing a blank on this one. Like 8x as x->1/2 , and 2x^2+8 x-> sqrt(2)?

I don't see where you used sequences there.
