1. (a) \mathrm{h} has a root at \mathrm{x}=1.
(b) limits of \mathrm{h}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) / \mathrm{g}(\mathrm{x}): as \mathrm{x} \rightarrow 1^{+} is 0: as \mathrm{x} \rightarrow 1^{-} is 0: as \mathrm{x} \rightarrow 3^{+} is -\infty: as \mathrm{x} \rightarrow 3^{-} is +\infty
(c) \mathrm{h} has a vertical asymptote at \mathrm{x}=3

3. limits of \mathrm{h}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) / \mathrm{g}(\mathrm{x}): as \mathrm{x} \rightarrow 2^{+} is +\infty: as \mathrm{x} \rightarrow 2^{-} is -\infty: as \mathrm{x} \rightarrow 4^{+} is 0: as \mathrm{x} \rightarrow 4^{-} is 0

25. (a) \mathrm{V}(\mathrm{t})=50+4 \mathrm{t} gallons, and \mathrm{A}(\mathrm{t})=0.8 \mathrm{t} pounds of salt
(b) \mathrm{C}(\mathrm{t})=\frac{\text { amount of salt }}{\text { total amount of liquid }}=\frac{\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{t})}{\mathrm{V}(\mathrm{t})}=\frac{0.8 \mathrm{t}}{50+4 \mathrm{t}}
(c) "after a long time" (as \mathrm{t} \rightarrow \infty), \mathrm{C}(\mathrm{t}) \rightarrow 0.8 / 4=0.2 pounds of salt per gallon.
(d) \mathrm{V}(\mathrm{t})=200+4 \mathrm{t}, \mathrm{A}(\mathrm{t})=0.8 \mathrm{t}, \mathrm{C}(\mathrm{t})=\frac{0.8 \mathrm{t}}{200+4 \mathrm{t}} \rightarrow 0.8 / 4=0.2 pounds of salt per gallon.
