\( \int x e^{x^2} \, dx = \dfrac{1}{2} e^{x^2} \)
\( \int_{0}^{x} x e^{x^2} \, dx = \dfrac{1}{2} \left( e^{x^2} - 1 \right) \)
\( \Rightarrow \lim_{x \to \infty} \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\left(e^{x^2} - 1\right)}{e^{x^2}} = \dfrac{1}{2} \)
Evaluate the following limit: $ \lim_{n \to \infty} \prod_{r=3}^n \frac{r^3 - 8}{r^3 + 8} $.
If \( f(x) \) is defined as follows:
$$ f(x) = \begin{cases} 4, & \text{if } -\infty < x < -\sqrt{5}, \\ x^2 - 1, & \text{if } -\sqrt{5} \leq x \leq \sqrt{5}, \\ 4, & \text{if } \sqrt{5} \leq x < \infty. \end{cases} $$ If \( k \) is the number of points where \( f(x) \) is not differentiable, then \( k - 2 = \)
