How You Can (And Should) Get More Practice!
Below is a few practice problems of various difficulty, but you will need considerably more practice than one each. For that reason
you should definitely use the green “Try Another” button in the top right corner at least two or three times to complete
additional versions of these questions for more practice. You should keep using that button until doing these problems feels straight
forward and easy, and then come back after a week or so of doing other stuff and try again to make sure it is still just as easy for
you.

Practice Problems: One Sided Limits
Theoretically Easier Difficulty Problem
Recall that, in order to be continuous, you need to check the left and right sided limits at the point, and the function’s value at
the point.
In order to be continuous, all three of the values need to exist, and all be the same.
Let . Determine if is continuous at .
1
The function is continuous at
2
The function is not continuous at
Theoretically Medium Difficulty Problem
Recall that, in order to be continuous, you need to check the left and right sided limits at the point, and the function’s value at
the point.
In order to be continuous, all three of the values need to exist, and all be the same.
Let . Determine if is continuous at .
1
The function is continuous at
2
The function is not continuous at
Theoretically Harder Difficulty Problem
Remember that in order to be continuous, you need to find the function’s value at the point of interest ( in this case) and then
find the limit from the left and from the right.
All three of these values must exist and be equal for the function to be continuous at that point.
You should be using the function: for your limit from the left, and the function: for your limit from the right.
Determine if the following function is continuous at
If the function is continuous at , enter in the box. If it is not continuous at , enter .
