Math Problem Statement
Using the following graph of the function f, evaluate the limit as x approaches 6.
Solution
To evaluate the limit using the provided graph, we need to check the behavior of the function as approaches 6 from both the left and the right side.
Looking at the graph near :
- From the left (): As approaches 6 from the left, the value of approaches about .
- From the right (): As approaches 6 from the right, the value of also approaches about .
Since the function approaches the same value from both sides, we conclude that:
So, the correct choice is: A.

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this concept:
- How do you determine when a limit does not exist?
- What is the difference between one-sided limits and two-sided limits?
- Can the value of the function at a point affect the limit at that point?
- What happens if the left-hand and right-hand limits are not equal?
- How does a vertical asymptote affect the limit of a function?
Tip: Always check both the left-hand and right-hand limits when evaluating limits at a specific point.
