Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related Pre CAL.188 Estimate Limits Graphically Using Zoom and Trace skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A calculator-style graph shows trace points approaching x = 9.81 from both sides. Left trace: (9.79, -9.81116), (9.808, -9.8101). Right trace: (9.812, -9.8099), (9.83, -9.80916). The zoomed curve remains connected through the trace window. Which conclusion follows from the graph?

AThe limit does not exist; evidence: any open circle or special point at x = 9.81 prevents a two-sided limit.

BLimit is about -9.3101; evidence: the plotted point or a single trace value sets the limit.

CLimit is about -9.81; evidence: the left and right trace values move toward -9.81 as x gets closer to 9.81.

DLimit is about -9.46; evidence: averaging nearby trace readings gives the best estimate.

Solution & Explanation:A two-sided graphical limit uses the y-values approached from both sides of x = 9.81. In the zoomed trace, both sides get closer to -9.81, so the best estimate is -9.81.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A graphing tool shows a standard view and then a zoom window centered at x = 2.2. Left trace: (2.18, -2.2004), (2.198, -2.20004). Right trace: (2.202, 2.19996), (2.22, 2.1996). The zoomed graph shows two separate branches meeting x = 2.2 at different heights. What conclusion is best supported by the zoom and trace data?

ALimit is about -2.2; evidence: the left-hand trace values approach -2.2.

BLimit is about 2.2; evidence: the right-hand trace values approach 2.2.

CThe two-sided limit does not exist; evidence: the left trace approaches -2.2 while the right trace approaches 2.2.

DLimit is about 0; evidence: the two one-sided estimates should be averaged.

Solution & Explanation:The left side approaches about -2.2, but the right side approaches about 2.2. Because those one-sided trends are different, the two-sided limit does not exist.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

After zooming in on the graph around x = -6.2, these trace readouts are visible. Left trace: (-6.22, 11.11152), (-6.202, 11.11014). Right trace: (-6.198, 11.10986), (-6.18, 11.10872). The zoomed curve remains connected through the trace window. Which choice gives the best limit estimate and why?

ALimit is about 10.76; evidence: averaging nearby trace readings gives the best estimate.

BThe limit does not exist; evidence: any open circle or special point at x = -6.2 prevents a two-sided limit.

CLimit is about 11.11; evidence: the left and right trace values move toward 11.11 as x gets closer to -6.2.

DLimit is about 11.61014; evidence: the plotted point or a single trace value sets the limit.

Solution & Explanation:A two-sided graphical limit uses the y-values approached from both sides of x = -6.2. In the zoomed trace, both sides get closer to 11.11, so the best estimate is 11.11.
