Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the problem by examining each statement about the limit of at various points based on the graph provided.
-
The limit of does not exist at -4.
- From the graph, we see that as , the function approaches 1 from both sides. The graph indicates that the value at is , so the limit does exist and equals 1.
- This statement is False.
-
The limit of does not exist at -2.
- At , the graph shows a jump discontinuity. As from the left, the function approaches 2, and from the right, it approaches -2. Since the left and right limits do not match, the limit does not exist at .
- This statement is True.
-
The limit of does not exist at -1.
- The graph doesn't show any clear discontinuity at ; it seems the function doesn't have any special behavior there. Hence, the limit does exist.
- This statement is False.
-
The limit of does not exist at 0.
- At , the graph shows that approaches the value 2 from both sides as . Therefore, the limit exists and equals 2.
- This statement is False.
-
The limit of does not exist at 4.
- As , the function behaves normally without any jumps or discontinuities. The limit exists and equals 0.
- This statement is False.
-
The limit of does not exist at 5.
- At , there is a vertical asymptote. As , the function tends towards negative infinity from both sides. Thus, the limit does not exist in the conventional sense.
- This statement is True.
Summary of Answers:

Would you like more details on any of the limits or have questions on limits in general?
Here are 5 related questions for deeper understanding:
- What is the difference between a jump discontinuity and an infinite discontinuity?
- How do you determine if a function has a removable discontinuity?
- Why does a function's limit exist at a point even if the function is not continuous at that point?
- How does the existence of an asymptote affect the limit of a function?
- What are the key conditions for a function to have a limit at a given point?
Tip: To check if a limit exists at a certain point, always examine both the left-hand and right-hand limits. If they are equal, the limit exists.
