When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- If f is continuous on [0,2] with f(0) = f(2), show that there is a c element of [0,2] such that f(c) = f(c+1)?
- How do you find the local max and min for # f(x)=x^3-2x+5# on the interval (-2,2)?
- How do you find the stationary points of a curve?
- How do you determine whether the function #f(x) = abs(x-3)# satisfies the hypotheses of the mean value theorem on the indicated interval (a,b), and if so how do you find all numbers c on [0,4] ?
- Is #f(x)=(3x^3+x^2-2x-14)/(x-1)# increasing or decreasing at #x=2#?
