Step 1:
\The function is .
Construct a table of values as tends to
to the function
.

Observe the table:
\As tends to
from left hand side the function
approaches to
.
As tends to
from right hand side the function
approaches to
.
Left side limit and right hand side limits are not equal.
\Therefore limit does not exist at .
does not exist.
Step 2:
\Verify the results using the graphing utility.
\Graph the function .
Observe the graph :
\As tends to
from left hand side the function
approaches to
.
As tends to
from right hand side the function
approaches to
.
Solution :
\(1)
(2)
(3) does not exist.
