  • use matching bounds to justify a limit value and continuity at the point

LIM-1.E—Determine the limits of functions using equivalent expressions for the function or the squeeze theorem—Topic 1.8 question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

Let f and g be the functions defined by f(x)=x2−25x2−29f(x)=\frac{x^{2}-25}{x^{2}-29} and g(x)=x+52x+4g(x)=\frac{x+5}{2 x+4}. If the function h satisfies f(x)≤h(x)≤g(x)f(x) \leq h(x) \leq g(x) for 1≤x≤51 \leq x \leq 5, what is lim⁡x→3h(x)\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} h(x) ?

A

12\frac{1}{2}

B

45\frac{4}{5}

C

1

D

The limit cannot be determined from the given information.
