GC/CAS Use your calculators for exercises 17-19 to determine the following. 17. For what value $c$ is the piecewise function $f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2 + c, & x \le 1\\ x - 2, & x > 1 \end{cases}$ continuous at $x = 1$? 18. For what value $n$ would the piecewise function $z(x) = \begin{cases} 5.6^{x-4}, & 0 < x < n\\ -(x - 4)^3 + 7, & x \ge n \end{cases}$ be continuous at $x = n$? 19. Graph $j(x) = \frac{3x^2}{4x^3 - 7x + 1}$. For what values of $x$ does the limit appear to be nonexistent?

Limit Rules and Calculating Basic Limits
Calculate the limits in exercises, using only the continuity of linear and power functions and the limit rules. Cite each limit rule that you apply. $$ \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{3}{2 x^{2}-4 x+1} $$
Find the limit, if it exists. $$ \lim _{x \rightarrow-x} \frac{(3 x+4)(x-1)}{(2 x+7)(x+2)} $$
