Math Problem Statement
Use the given graph of f to state the value of each quantity, if it exists. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
(a) lim x → 2- f(x)
(b) lim x → 2+ f(x)
(c) lim x → 2 f(x)
(d) f(2)
(e) lim x → 4 f(x)
Solution
Let's analyze the graph and solve the limits and function values step by step. Based on the image you uploaded, I will interpret the graph and the questions as follows:
Problem breakdown:
- (a) : The left-hand limit as approaches 2 from the left.
- (b) : The right-hand limit as approaches 2 from the right.
- (c) : The two-sided limit as approaches 2.
- (d) : The value of the function at .
- (e) : The limit as approaches 4.
Analysis of the graph:
For (Parts a, b, c, d):
- From the graph, as , the function approaches .
- As , the function approaches .
- The two-sided limit does not exist (DNE) because the left-hand and right-hand limits are not equal.
- appears to be , as the function touches the x-axis at .
For (Part e):
- As , the function approaches . The graph is continuous around , so the limit exists and is .
Final Answers:
- (a)
- (b)
- (c) (since the left and right limits are not equal)
- (d)
- (e)
Would you like further clarification or more details on any part of this?
Here are 5 related questions that can expand on the concepts discussed:
- What conditions must be met for the two-sided limit to exist?
- How do you find the limit of a function when given its graph?
- What is the difference between a removable discontinuity and a jump discontinuity?
- How can the value of a function at a point differ from its limit at that point?
- Why does the limit not exist at in this case?
Tip: When dealing with piecewise functions or discontinuities, always check left-hand and right-hand limits separately to confirm the overall limit.
