-The limit as X approaches 1 of f(X) + g(X) is 3.
How is the limit calculated for X approaching 2 from the right in problem 47, part D?
-The limit is calculated by evaluating the limits of 2 times f(X) and 3 times g(X) separately as X approaches 2 from the right, resulting in 2 times 1 plus 3 times 3, which equals 11.
Why does the limit not exist for f(X) - g(X) as X approaches 2 in problem 47, part F?
-The limit does not exist because f(X) approaches different values from the left and right of X=2; 1 from the left and 2 from the right.
What is the limit as X approaches 3 of g(X) over f(X) in problem 47, part G?
-The limit as X approaches 3 of g(X) over f(X) is 0 because g(X) approaches 0 and f(X) approaches -2.
