If $$f:R \to R$$ is a function defined by

$$f\left( x \right) = \left[ x \right]\cos \left( {{{2x - 1} \over 2}} \right)\pi $$,

where [x] denotes the greatest integer function, then $$f$$ is

$$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 2} \left( {{{\sqrt {1 - \cos \left\{ {2(x - 2)} \right\}} } \over {x - 2}}} \right)$$

The value of $$p$$ and $$q$$ for which the function

$$f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{{\sin (p + 1)x + \sin x} \over x}} & {,x < 0} \cr q & {,x = 0} \cr {{{\sqrt {x + {x^2}} - \sqrt x } \over {{x^{3/2}}}}} & {,x > 0} \cr } } \right.$$

is continuous for all $$x$$ in R, are

Let $$f:R \to R$$ be a positive increasing function with

$$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } {{f(3x)} \over {f(x)}} = 1$$. Then $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } {{f(2x)} \over {f(x)}} = $$
