1. Problem Description
We are asked to solve two limit problems.
a)
b)
2. Solution Steps
a) We need to evaluate . As approaches 3, the denominator approaches
0. Therefore, the limit will either be $+\infty$, $-\infty$, or it may not exist. Let us consider the limit from the right side, where $x>3$. Then $x-3>0$ and $x-3$ is approaching 0, so $\frac{1}{x-3}$ approaches $+\infty$. Let us now consider the limit from the left side, where $x<3$. Then $x-3<0$ and $x-3$ is approaching 0, so $\frac{1}{x-3}$ approaches $-\infty$. Since the left and right limits are not equal, the limit does not exist.
b) We need to evaluate .
Since the function is continuous at , we can just substitute into the expression to evaluate the limit.
.
3. Final Answer
a) The limit does not exist.
b)
