Math Problem Statement

Use the graph of y=f(x) to find the limits:

Step 2 of 4 :  

Find limx→3+f(x)

Use the graph of y=f(x) to find the limits: Step 2 of 4: Find lim x→3+ f(x)

Solution

To determine limx3+f(x)\lim_{{x \to 3^+}} f(x), which represents the right-hand limit of f(x)f(x) as xx approaches 3, we need to observe the graph near x=3x = 3 from the right side.

From the graph:

  • As xx approaches 3 from values greater than 3 (i.e., from the right side), the function f(x)f(x) appears to approach a value of approximately 5, based on the height of the point right after x=3x = 3.

Thus:

limx3+f(x)=5\lim_{{x \to 3^+}} f(x) = 5

Let me know if you'd like further details or if you have more questions! Here are 5 related questions to explore:

  1. How is the left-hand limit limx3f(x)\lim_{{x \to 3^-}} f(x) different from the right-hand limit limx3+\lim_{{x \to 3^+}}?
  2. What is the overall limit limx3f(x)\lim_{{x \to 3}} f(x) based on this graph?
  3. How do we determine if a function is continuous at a point like x=3x = 3?
  4. What can be said about the behavior of the function at points where the graph has jumps or vertical asymptotes?
  5. How would you interpret the limit limx2f(x)\lim_{{x \to -2}} f(x) based on the graph?

Tip: To find a limit graphically, always check whether you're looking from the left, right, or both sides at the point in question!
