Question
In exercise problems 7 – 15, use the graph to find the limits (if it exists). If the limit does not exist, explain why?
`lim_(x -> 0) sec x`
Advertisements
Solution
To find `lim_(x -> 0) sec x`
Let y = f(x) = sec x
From the graph at x = 0 the curve intersect the y – axis.
At x = 0 we have y = 1
∴ `lim_(x -> 0) sec x` = 1
