(CORRECT: 10 pts. WITH MISTAKE/S: 9 pts.)

4. DEFINITION: The greatest integer function (also

called the floor function), denoted ⌊𝑥⌋, is the
function that takes as input a real number 𝑥 and
gives as output the greatest integer less than or
equal to 𝑥.
EXAMPLES: ⌊2.1⌋ = 2 ⌊2.999⌋ = 2
⌊2⌋ = 2 ⌊−2⌋ = −2 ⌊−2.999⌋ = −3
⌊−2.1⌋ = −3 ⌊𝜋⌋ = 3 ⌊−𝜋⌋ = −4
5. Find a “simple” function ℎ(𝑥) that satisfies all four Compute
⌊𝑥⌋
(4) conditions listed below: lim .

a. lim ℎ(𝑥) = −3 c. lim− ℎ(𝑥) = +∞
𝑥→+∞ 𝑥→2 (CORRECT: 10 pts. WITH MISTAKE/S: 9 pts.)
b. lim ℎ(𝑥) = −3 d. lim+ ℎ(𝑥) = −∞.
𝑥→−∞ 𝑥→2
(CORRECT: 10 pts. INCORRECT: 9 pts.)

1. The graph of 𝑦 = 𝜙(𝑥) is shown below. Lines that 2. Compute
look like asymptotes are indeed asymptotes. 1

HINT: (+∞) − (+∞) is NOT equal to 0. It is another
indeterminate form, together with 0/0, which we
already studied. You have to find a way to modify
the expression so that the limit laws that we studied
in class become applicable.
(CORRECT: 10 pts. per item. WITH MISTAKE/S: 9 pts.
MAX SCORE: 20 pts.)
Determine the following limits.
(CORRECT: 2 pts. per blank. INCORRECT: 1.5 pts.
MAX SCORE: 10 pts.)
