Math Problem Statement

Investigate the continuity of given functions and compute specific limits. Problems include analyzing a rational function and a piecewise function, along with evaluating various limits involving algebraic and trigonometric expressions.

Solution

Let's analyze the uploaded mathematical problem. It consists of two sections:


Section 1: Continuity Analysis

  1. Determine the continuity of the functions and identify the types of discontinuities. Then, plot the graphs:
    • (a) y=x2+1x+2y = \frac{x^2 + 1}{x + 2}
    • (b) ( y = \begin{cases} (x-1)^3 & \text{if } x \leq 2, \ 1 & \text{if } 2 < x \leq 3, \ 3x - 8 & \text{if } x > 3 \end{cases} )

Section 2: Limit Computations

  1. Compute the following limits:
    • (a) limx2x3+4x2+7x+6x2+x2\lim_{x \to -2} \frac{x^3 + 4x^2 + 7x + 6}{x^2 + x - 2}
    • (b) limx+(x2+5x2+7)x\lim_{x \to +\infty} (x^2 + 5 - \sqrt{x^2 + 7})x
    • (c) limx+4x+14x5\lim_{x \to +\infty} \frac{4x + 1}{4x - 5}
    • (d) limx01cos3(2x)7x2\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1 - \cos^3(2x)}{7x^2}
    • (e) limxπ1sin(x/2)πx\lim_{x \to \pi} \frac{1 - \sin(x/2)}{\pi - x}
    • (f) limx11+ln2x131+cos(πx)\lim_{x \to 1} \frac{\sqrt[3]{1 + \ln^2 x - 1}}{1 + \cos(\pi x)}
