Question statement

Let the function $f$ be given by $\displaystyle f(t)=\simplify{({a3} * t + {b3}) / ({a2} * t ^ 2 + {2 * b2 * a2} * t + {c2 + a2 * b2 ^ 2}) }$

Give any introductory information the student needs.

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Find the following limit:

$\displaystyle \simplify{Limit(f(t),t,{d2}) }= \;$Unnamed gap.

Enter your answer as a fraction or an integer and not as a decimal.

Advice

Graph of $f$.

{plotf(a2,b2,c2,a3,b3,stat1,stat2)}

Note that $\simplify{{a2} * t ^ 2 + {2 * b2 * a2} * t + {c2 + a2 * b2 ^ 2} ={a2}*(t+{b2})^2+{c2}} \gt 0$.

Hence the denominator of $f(t) \neq 0,\;\forall t \in \mathbb{R}$ and so $f$ is continuous at all points in $\mathbb{R}$.

This means that in part a) we can take the limit by simply subsituting $t=\var{d2}$ into the expression for $f(t)$ and we get:

\[\lim_{x \to \var{d2}}f(t)=\simplify[all,!otherNumbers,fractionNumbers,!collectNumbers]{({a3} * {d2} + {b3}) / ({a2} * {d2}^ 2 + {2 * b2 * a2} * {d2}+ {c2 + a2 * b2 ^ 2})={v}/{w} }\]

Similarly in part b) we have :

\[\lim_{x \to a}f(t)=\simplify[all,!collectNumbers,!otherNumbers,fractionNumbers]{({a3} * a + {b3}) / ({a2} * a^ 2 + {2 * b2 * a2} * a+ {c2 + a2 * b2 ^ 2})}\]

As noted above we can find this limit by simply putting $t=a$ into the formula for the function as $f$ is continuous at all points in $\mathbb{R}$.
