Show that $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{x}}{|\text{x}|}$ does not exist.
Answer$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{x}}{|\text{x}|}$
We know that $|\text{x}|=\begin{cases}\text{x}, &\text{if }\text{x }\ge0\\-\text{x}, &\text{if } \text{x} < 0\end{cases}$
$\therefore\ \lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^+}\frac{\text{x}}{|\text{x}|}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^+}\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^+}1=1$

$\Rightarrow\text{L.H.L}\text{ of f(x)}\ne\text{R.H.L of f(x)}$

Show that $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow2}\text{ e}^\frac{-1}{\text{x}}$ does not exist.
Answer $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\text{ e}^{\frac{-1}{\text{x}}}$
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^+}\text{ e}^{\frac{-1}{\text{x}}}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^+}\frac{1}{\text{e}^{\frac{1}{\text{x}}}}=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{1}{\text{e}^{\frac{1}{0+\text{h}}}}=\frac{1}{\text{e}^{\frac{1}{0}}}=\frac{1}{\text{e}^{\infty}}=\frac{1}{\infty}=0$
And,
$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^-}\text{e}^{\frac{-1}{\text{x}}}=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0^-}\frac{1}{\text{e}^{\frac{1}{\text{x}}}}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{1}{\text{e}^\frac{1}{0-\text{h}}}=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{1}{\text{e}^-\frac{1}{\text{h}}}=\frac{1}{\text{e}^-\frac{1}{0}}=\frac{1}{\text{e}^{-\infty}}=\text{e}^\infty=\infty$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^+}\text{e}^{\frac{-1}{\text{x}}}\ne\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^-}\text{e}^{\frac{-1}{\text{x}}}$
$\therefore\ \lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\text{e}^{\frac{-1}{\text{x}}}$ does not exist.

Let $\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}\text{x}+1, & \text{if x}> 0\\\text{x}-1, &\text{if x} < 0\end{cases}.$ Prove that $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\text{f(x)}$ does not exist.
Answer$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^+}\text{f(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^+}\text{ x}+1$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}(0+\text{h})+1=1$
Also, $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^+}\text{f(x)}\neq\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^-}\text{f(x)}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}(0-\text{h})-1=-1$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^+}\text{f(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^-}\text{f(x)}$
Hence, limit does not exist.
