Q.1. The unit price f(x) for the sale of x units of a certain machine part is given by the function
(x +30)
f ( x )=200 . Find the domain and range of this function. [5]
x +100

x 2−25
Q.2. Find lim if it exists. [6]
x→−5 x 2 +3 x−10

3 x 2+2 x−8
Q.3. Is the function f x =
( ) continuous at x=−2 ? Justify your answer. If the
x +2
function is discontinuous at x=−2, can it be redefined to make it continuous? [6]
