Question

(a) Investigate limx0cosπx\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \cos \frac{\pi}{x} by using a table and evaluating the function f(x)=cosπxf(x)=\cos \frac{\pi}{x} at x=12,14,18,110,112,,112,110,18,14,12x=-\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{4},-\frac{1}{8},-\frac{1}{10},-\frac{1}{12}, \ldots, \frac{1}{12}, \frac{1}{10}, \frac{1}{8}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{2}. (b) Investigate limx0cosπx\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \cos \frac{\pi}{x} by using a table and evaluating the function f(x)=cosπxf(x)=\cos \frac{\pi}{x} at x=1,13,15,17,19,,19,17,15,13,1x=-1,-\frac{1}{3},-\frac{1}{5},-\frac{1}{7},-\frac{1}{9}, \ldots, \frac{1}{9}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{3}, 1. (c) Compare the results from (a) and (b). What do you conclude about the limit? Why do you think this happens? What is your view about using a table to draw a conclusion about limits? (d) Use technology to graph f. Begin with the x -window [2π,2π][-2 \pi, 2 \pi] and the y-window [-1,1]. If you were finding limx0f(x)\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x) using a graph, what would you conclude? Zoom in on the graph. Describe what you see.
