1.
Because range of sin 18x is always [1,-1].
Hence,
-1/10x <= sin(18x)/10x <= 1/10x

As x -> infinity, 1/x -> 0 as well as 1/(10x) -> 0 and -1/(10x) -> 0

Therefore, by the sandwich rule,
as x-> infinity : sin(18x)/10x -> 0
Hence, answer is 0.

2.
Lim x -> 6 3/(x-6)^2

Right hand limit:
x = h+6
Lim h->0 3/(h+6-6)^2 = Lim h->0 3/h^2 = infinity

Left hand limit:
x = 6 - h
Lim h->0- 3/(6-h -6)^2 = Lim h->0 3/(-h)^2
= Lim h->0 3/h^2
= infinity

As RHL = LHL = infinity
Hence, limit exists and function tends to infinity as x->6. --Answer

3.
Lim y->0 (sin(11y)/(13y))

Put 11y = x
As y -> 0 : 11y->0

Hence,
Lim y->0 (sin(11y)/(13y)) = Lim y->0 (sin (11y) / (13*11y/11))
= Lim x->0 (sin (x) / (13*x/11))
= Lim x->0 (11/13) (sin (x) / x)
= (11/13)*1 [Because, Lim x->0 sin(x)/x = 1]
= 11/13 --Answer

4.
Lim x->(-2) (-8x)

Right Hand Limit:
x = -2 + h
Lim h->0+ (-8(-2+h)) = Lim h->0 (16 - 8h)
= 16 - Lim h->0 (-8h)
= 16 - 0
= 16

Left Hand Limit:
Put x = -2 - h
Lim h->0- (-8 (-2 - h)) = Lim h->0 (16 + 8h)
= 16 + ...

  • " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
