Limit and Continuity in Functions

Function Behaviour: f(x) = 0.1x^4 - 0.5x^3 - 3.3x^2 + 7.7x - 1.99 approaches a limit of 2 at three positive values of b.
Particle Motion: At time t = 8, a particle's speed is estimated to be 0 based on its position graph.
Rocket Height: The rocket's speed is likely greatest at t = 400 seconds based on given height data over time.

Estimating Speed and Limits

Linear Function Speed: For a particle moving right, the best estimate of speed at t = 20 minutes is the slope of y = x(t).
Limit Property: The function f(x) = (e^(2x) - 1)/x approaches 2 as x approaches 0, showing a specific limit property.
Function Limits: If f(x) approaches 7 as x nears 4, then lim(x→4) f(x) = 7 holds true.

Graphical Interpretation

Function Graphs: For lim(x→1) f(x) = 3, specific graph shapes are possible.
Limit Evaluation: Expressions can often simplify to constants like 2 based on the function's graphical behaviour.

Continuous Functions and Data Interpretation

Continuous Function Limits: Approximating lim(x→3) from a table of values gives an estimate of 5.
Right-Hand Limit: Limit from the right at x = 4 indicates a value of 6 based on tabulated data.
Definitive Conclusions: Data may not conclusively determine lim(x→1) f(x) based on the given values.

Calculating Limits

Specific Function Limits:
- lim(x→1−) f(x) evaluates to 4.
- The combined limit of two functions at x = 4 results in 2.
- Cosine and exponential function limit as x approaches 0 calculates to 2.

Functional Transformations

Function Transformation Limit: The limit involving f(x) = (x - 9)/(sqrt(x) - 3) transforms effectively as x approaches 9, focusing on the square root component.
Complex Limit Evaluation: A limit problem involving polynomials approaches a value of 3 as x tends to 0.

Trigonometric Limits

Trigonometric Functions: The evaluation lim(x→π/2) of f(x) = sin(x) - 1/cos^2(x) simplifies to an expression involving sin(x) as x approaches π/2 from the left.
