Function limits: a removable-factor quotient, affine δ bounds and unequal one-sided limits

On punctured real domains: (1) prove by ε-δ that f(x)=(x²−9)/(x−3) has lim_(x→3) f(x)=6 while f(3) stays undefined; (2) for the affine g(x)=4x−1 at a=2 with ε=1/2, prove that δ=1/8 is valid (the equality |m|δ=ε is allowed) and δ=1/7 is not; (3) for the branch function h(x)=x+1 (x<1), h(x)=2x+3 (x>1), find the one-sided limits 2 and 5 and prove that the two-sided limit does not exist.
