Multiple choiceNo calculator

The graph of ff is shown. What is lim⁡x→1f(x)\displaystyle\lim_{x \to 1} f(x)?

Multiple choiceNo calculator

The graph of ff is shown. Which limit does not exist?

Multiple choiceNo calculator

The graph of ff is shown, with a vertical asymptote at x=3x = 3. Which describes the behavior of ff as x→3+x \to 3^+?

Multiple choiceGraphing calculator

A student graphs f(x)=sin⁡(1x)f(x) = \sin\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right) on a calculator in the window −1≤x≤1-1 \le x \le 1. The graph near x=0x = 0 looks like a dark band. What can be concluded about lim⁡x→0f(x)\displaystyle\lim_{x \to 0} f(x)?
