Given:
limx3(2x3)
LEFT-HAND LIMIT
Apply the constant multiple rule limx3cf(x)=climx3f(x) with c=2 and f(x)=1x3:
limx3(2x3)=(2limx31x3)
The function decreases without a bound:
limx31x3=
Therefore,
limx3(2x3)=
RIGHT-HAND LIMIT
Apply the constant multiple rule limx3+cf(x)=climx3+f(x) with c=2 and f(x)=1x3:
limx3+(2x3)=(2limx3+1x3)
The function grows without a bound:
limx3+1x3=
Therefore,
limx3+(2x3)=
Answer: limx3(2x3) does not exist, since the corresponding one-sided limits are not equal:
limx3(2x3)=, limx3+(2x3)=
