Use this example of a similiar problem to answer step by step: Let g(t)equalsStartFraction t minus 121 Over StartRoot t EndRoot minus 11 EndFraction . a. Make two tables, one showing the values of g for tequals120.9, 120.99, and 120.999 and one showing values of g for tequals121.1, 121.01, and 121.001. b. Make a conjecture about the value of ModifyingBelow lim With t right arrow 121 StartFraction t minus 121 Over StartRoot t EndRoot minus 11 EndFraction . Question content area bottom Part 1 a. Make a table showing the values of g for tequals120.9, 120.99, and 120.999 . Evaluate g left parenthesis 120.9 right parenthesis, rounding to four decimal places. g left parenthesis 120.9 right parenthesis equals StartFraction 120.9 minus 121 Over StartRoot 120.9 EndRoot minus 11 EndFraction equals 21.9955 Part 2 Evaluate g(120.99), rounding to four decimal places. g left parenthesis 120.99 right parenthesis equals StartFraction 120.99 minus 121 Over StartRoot 120.99 EndRoot minus 11 EndFraction equals 21.9995 Part 3 Evaluate g(120.999), rounding to four decimal places. g left parenthesis 120.999 right parenthesis equals StartFraction 120.999 minus 121 Over StartRoot 120.999 EndRoot minus 11 EndFraction equals 22.0000 Part 4Thus, the table of values of g for tequals120.9 comma 120.99, and 120.999 is given below. t 120.9 120.99 120.999g(t) 21.9955 21.9995 22.0000 Part 5 The values of g for tequals121.1, 121.01, and 121.001 are found similarly. Substitute these values into the function g(t)equalsStartFraction t minus 121 Over StartRoot t EndRoot minus 11 EndFraction and simplify, rounding to four decimal places. t 121.1 121.01 121.001g(t) StartFraction 121.1 minus 121 Over StartRoot 121.1 EndRoot minus 11 EndFraction equals22.0045 StartFraction 121.01 minus 121 Over StartRoot 121.01 EndRoot minus 11 EndFraction equals22.0005 StartFraction 121.001 minus 121 Over StartRoot 121.001 EndRoot minus 11 EndFraction equals22.0001 Part 6Thus, the two tables are as follows. t 120.9 120.99 120.999g(t) 21.9955 21.9995 22.0000 t 121.1 121.01 121.001g(t) 22.0045 22.0005 22.0001 Part 7 b. Make a conjecture about the value of ModifyingBelow lim With t right arrow 121 StartFraction t minus 121 Over StartRoot t EndRoot minus 11 EndFraction . Use the values just to the left and the right of tequals121 to approximate the limit at t equals 121. If the values do not approach a single value as t approaches 121, the limit does not exist. In this case, the values of g(t) both above and below tequals121 are approaching 22. Thus, ModifyingBelow lim With t right arrow 121 StartFraction t minus 121 Over StartRoot t EndRoot minus 11 EndFraction is likely equal to 22.

Let me go ahead and perform these calculations. math
Function for g(t)
def g(t): return (t - 49) / (math.sqrt(t) - 7)
Values for the tables
t_values_1 = [48.9, 48.99, 48.999] t_values_2 = [49.1, 49.01, 49.001]
Calculate g(t) for each value
g_values_1 = [round(g(t), 4) for t in t_values_1] g_values_2 = [round(g(t), 4) for t in t_values_2]
g_values_1, g_values_2Here are the values of for the tables:
Table 1: Values of for
48.9 | 48.99 | 48.999 | |
---|---|---|---|
13.9929 | 13.9993 | 13.9999 |
Table 2: Values of for
49.1 | 49.01 | 49.001 | |
---|---|---|---|
14.0071 | 14.0007 | 14.0001 |
Part 2: Conjecture about the limit
Looking at the values of as approaches 49 from both sides:
- From , the function values approach .
- From , the function values approach .
Thus, the function values are getting closer to 14 as approaches 49, suggesting that the limit is approximately:
Would you like further details or clarification on any part of this process? Here's a related set of questions:
- How can you use the concept of limits to estimate values of a function as approaches a point?
- What is the significance of the values approaching 14 in terms of continuity?
- What happens if the limit from one side does not match the limit from the other side?
- How would you estimate a limit for functions that don't behave smoothly around a certain point?
- Can this method be applied to other rational functions involving square roots?
Tip: When computing limits for functions with square roots, always check if you can simplify the expression, for instance by multiplying by a conjugate if needed.
