Trying to make sure I have these correct for the following problems. Thank you for the help.

1. Limit [as x approaches 1] of: x^1/(1-x)

2. Limit [as t approaches 0] of: e^(qt - pt)/t

3. Limit [as t approaches pi (3.14)] of: sin(t)/ (t^2- pi^2) ------ pi = 3.14

4. Limit [as x approaches infinity] of: ln(ln(x))/ln(x)

Thank you again for your insight.

Rule of thumb for limits: first, try substituting the value x approaches into the function, and you'll either end up with:
(1) some value
(2) some value divided by 0, or
(3) 0/0
(4) some value divided by infinity
(5) infinity divided by some value
(6) infinity/infinity


If (1) is true, then the answer will be just that value.
If (2) is true, the limit does not exist.
If (3) is true, the limit may exist and you'll have to algebraically determine what the limit is.
If (4) is true, the value will be zero.
If (5) is true, the value will be infinity (or "does not exist" may be valid too)
If (6) is true, the limit may exist.

Cases #3 and #6 involve using L'Hospital's Rule, where you take the derivative of the numerator and denominator and calculate the new limit.
Let's try these tricks on each question.
1. Lim (x --> 1, x^1/(1-x))

In this case, substituting 1 into the function yields 1/(1-1) = 1/0, so the limit doesn't exist.

2. Lim (t ---> 0, e^(qt - pt)/t)

Substitute 0, and you get e^(0-0)/0, or 1/0, so the limit doesn't exist.

3. Lim (t ---> pi, sin(t)/(t^2 - pi^2))

Substitute pi to get sin(pi)/(pi^2 - pi^2), and we get 0/0, so we have to proceed.

Use L'Hospital's rule (it should be in your notes somewhere), where you take the derivative of the numerator and denominator of the fraction to get a new limit. So the new limit becomes:

Lim (t --> pi, cos(t)/(2t)) and at this point we substitute pi, to get
cos(pi) / (2*pi) = -1/2*pi, which is our answer.

4. Lim (t --> infinity, ln(ln(x))/ln(x))
This is an infinity/infinity case, so we use L'Hospital's Rule.

Lim (t --> infinity, (1/ln(x) * 1/x) / (1/x) ) )

That meshes into

Lim (t --> infinity, 1/ln(x))

Which becomes a 1/infinity case, so the answer is 0.

does not exist

2. Limit [as t approaches 0] of: e^(qt - pt)/t
does not exist

3. Limit [as t approaches pi (3.14)] of: sin(t)/ (t^2- pi^2) ------ pi = 3.14
=cos(pi)/2pi

4. Limit [as x approaches infinity] of: ln(ln(x))/ln(x)
=0

reckoning on how limited the vocabulary, each and every thing you do and each interplay with others would be affected. somebody with a critically limited vocabulary could have a perplexing time getting a reliable job, know-how others, reaping rewards from coaching. there is not any section in existence which will get away being touched via this actual lack. in case you do no longer comprehend a thank you to particular your self, how are you able to're making somebody understand? in case you could no longer understand what somebody is telling you, how are you able to have interaction in a communique? in case you do no longer carry close the which potential of the words, how are you going to have the skill to stay with instructions? no longer purely will this reason very much of frustration, however the guy's shallowness will go through an infinite deal because of the fact of it. (people who won't be able to study go through the main. while somebody with a small vocabulary can appropriate this via examining and searching up words and getting to understand, the guy who hasn't been taught to study is at a various turn away.) Will the skill to think of (or creativity) be limited because of a small vocabulary? I don’t think of so, however the expression of that inner image would be; the skill to speak it to others is lessened. (it quite is in lots of cases perplexing adequate to needless to say contemporary techniques to others without the extra barrier imposed via a limited vocabulary.) That, in turn, finally leads to extra frustration. i think i'm no longer asserting something new, as a techniques because of the fact the different solutions go, yet those are a number of my techniques on your question.
