Problem 1

Determine the behaviour of the following functions as $x \rightarrow \pm \infty$ :
(a) $f(x)=\frac{x^{3}+x+1}{2-3 x^{3}}$
(b) $f(x)=\mathrm{e}^{-x} \sin x$
(c) $f(x)=[x] / x$, where $[x]$ denotes the integer part of $x$

Problem 4

Use the rules for limits to evaluate the following.
(a) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x^{3}-1}{x^{2}+1}$
(b) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{x-1}{x^{3}}-\frac{1}{-1}$
(c) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \cos \left(\frac{\pi x}{x+1}\right)$
(d) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} x^{2} \cos \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)$

Problem 6

Let $f(x)$ be defined on an interval $(0, a)$ and let $t=1 / x$. Prove that if either of the limits $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0+} \int(x)$ or $\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} f(1 / t)$ exists then both exist and have the same value.
