\begin{frame} \frametitle{Computing Limits: Function Replacement} For one-sided limits we have: \begin{block}{} If $f(x) = g(x)$ for all $x < a$, then $\lim_{x \to a^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to a^-} g(x)$. \end{block} \begin{block}{} If $f(x) = g(x)$ for all $x > a$, then $\lim_{x \to a^+} f(x) = \lim_{x \to a^+} g(x)$. \end{block} \bigskip \begin{exampleblock}{} Proof that $\lim_{x\to 0} \frac{|x|}{x}$ does not exist. \pause\bigskip For all $x > 0$ we have $\frac{|x|}{x} \pause = \frac{x}{x}\pause = 1$. \pause Thus \begin{talign} \lim_{x\to 0^+} \frac{|x|}{x} = \lim_{x\to 0^+} 1 = 1 \end{talign} \pause For all $x < 0$ we have $\frac{|x|}{x} \pause = \frac{-x}{x}\pause = -1$. \pause Thus \begin{talign} \lim_{x\to 0^-} \frac{|x|}{x} = \lim_{x\to 0^-} -1 = -1 \end{talign} \pause Hence $\lim_{x\to 0} \frac{|x|}{x}$ does not exist since $\lim_{x\to 0^-} \frac{|x|}{x} \ne \lim_{x\to 0^+} \frac{|x|}{x}$. \end{exampleblock} \vspace{10cm} \end{frame}
