Step 1:
\The function is
.
(1)
\Find
.
The function is
.
Construct the table for different values of x near to 4 from left :
\| x | \3.5 | \3.9 | \3.99 | \3.999 | \3.9999 | \
| f(x) | \112 | \14000 | \14x106 | \14x109 | \14x1012 | \
Observe the table.
\The value of f(x) at x = 3.9999 is 14x1012.
\As x tends to 4 from left side f(x) approaches to large positive number.
\Therefore
.
Step 2:
\(2)
\Find
.
The function is
.
Construct the table for different values of x near to 4 from right :
\![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
![]() | \
Observe the table.
\The value of f(x) at x = 4.0001 is
.
As x tends to 4 from right side f(x) approaches to large negative number.
\Therefore
.
Step 3:
\(3)
\Find
.
The function is
.
Left hand limit :
\As x tends to 4 from left side f(x) approaches to large positive number.
\
.
Right hand limit :
\As x tends to 4 from right side f(x) approaches to large negative number.
\
.
Left hand limit and right hand limit are not equal, limit does not exist.
\
does not exist.
Solution :
\(1)
.
(2)
.
(3)
does not exist.
