For the following exercises, use a graphing utility to find numerical or graphical evidence to determine the left and right-hand limits of the function given as x approaches a. If the function has a limit as x approaches a, state it. If not, discuss why there is no limit.

Allow the speed of light, c, to be equal to 1.0. If the mass, m, is 1, what occurs to m as v → c? Using the values listed in Table 1, make a conjecture as to what the mass is as v approaches 1.00.
