Solve the following limits: 2. lim_{x -> 6^+} |2 - |2 - x|| / (2 - |x - 2|), 3. lim_{x -> 2} (1 / (3 - x^2 + 5)) (1 - (1 / (1 - sqrt(x - 1)))), 4. lim_{x -> 3} (2 - x) / (3^x + 3^(3 - x) - 28).

Solution

Let's analyze and solve the limits step-by-step from the provided image.

2. limx6+22x2x2\lim_{x \to 6^+} \frac{|2 - |2 - x||}{2 - |x - 2|}

We need to handle the absolute values carefully based on the behavior of xx as it approaches 6 from the right (x6+x \to 6^+).

Absolute Value Analysis:

  • 2x|2 - x|: Since x6+x \to 6^+, x>6x > 6, so 2x=x2|2 - x| = x - 2.
  • 2(2x)=x|2 - (2 - x)| = |x|: This simplifies to x2x - 2.

So, the expression becomes: 2(x2)2(x2)=0x2    0\frac{|2 - (x - 2)|}{2 - (x - 2)} = \frac{0}{x-2} \implies 0

3. limx2(13x2+5(111x1))\lim_{x \to 2} \left( \frac{1}{3 - x^2 + 5} \left( 1 - \frac{1}{1 - \sqrt{x - 1}} \right) \right)

First, simplify the terms as x2x \to 2:

  • For 13x2+5\frac{1}{3 - x^2 + 5}, substitute x=2x = 2: 3(2)2+5=34+5=4.3 - (2)^2 + 5 = 3 - 4 + 5 = 4. So the fraction becomes 14\frac{1}{4}.

  • Now for the second part: 111x11 - \frac{1}{1 - \sqrt{x - 1}}. As x2x \to 2, x1=21=1\sqrt{x - 1} = \sqrt{2 - 1} = 1, so the expression inside becomes: 1111 is undefined because of division by 0.1 - \frac{1}{1 - 1} \text{ is undefined because of division by 0}.

Thus, the limit does not exist due to a singularity at x=2x = 2.

4. limx32x3x+33x28\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{2 - x}{3^x + 3^{3 - x} - 28}

Let’s first check if direct substitution works.

  • Substitute x=3x = 3 into the numerator: 23=12 - 3 = -1.
  • Now into the denominator: 33+33328=27+128=0.3^3 + 3^{3 - 3} - 28 = 27 + 1 - 28 = 0.

So we have the indeterminate form 10\frac{-1}{0}, which tends to -\infty. Therefore, the limit does not exist and goes to -\infty.


Would you like more details on these solutions or explanations for the methods? Here are five related questions that might help deepen your understanding:

  1. What is the significance of calculating limits from the right-hand side (x6+x \to 6^+)?
  2. How do we deal with absolute value expressions in limits?
  3. Why does the second limit lead to a singularity or undefined behavior?
  4. How do we analyze limits that tend towards infinity or negative infinity?
  5. What are common techniques to simplify complex limit expressions?

Tip: When evaluating limits involving absolute values, always consider the direction from which xx is approaching, as this affects how the absolute value expressions behave.
