Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the given graph of the function and evaluate the truth of the three statements.
1. Statement I:
- Looking at the graph near , the value of is indicated by a closed dot, showing .
- To check the limit , we observe the behavior of the function as approaches 2 from both sides.
- As , the graph approaches 0.
- As , the graph also approaches 0.
- Therefore, .
Since both the limit and the function value at are equal, Statement I is true.
2. Statement II:
- From the graph:
- As , the function approaches the value .
- As , the function approaches .
Since the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit are not equal, Statement II is false.
3. Statement III:
- From the graph:
- is given by a closed dot at , so .
- As analyzed above, and , meaning that does not exist.
Since the limit does not exist, Statement III is false.
Conclusion:
- Statement I is true.
- Statements II and III are false.

lim_{x→a} f(x) = L
Left-hand limit: lim_{x→a^-} f(x)
Right-hand limit: lim_{x→a^+} f(x)
Theorems
For lim_{x→a} f(x) to exist, lim_{x→a^-} f(x) = lim_{x→a^+} f(x)
A function is continuous at x=a if lim_{x→a} f(x) = f(a)
