Limits & ContinuityThis question asks for a number answer. Acceptable answers include whole numbers, integers (negative
numbers), and decimal values. (These questions will normally require you to do calculations by hand or
with a computer before you enter a final answer.)
In special cases, you may need to enter DNE for "Does not exist", oo for infinity, or -oo for negative infinity.
If your answer is not an exact value, you'll want to enter at least 3 decimal places unless the problem
specifies otherwise.
