Math Problem Statement

lim x→0 f(x) = ?

Solution

To determine limx0f(x)\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) from the given graph, we need to analyze the behavior of the function f(x)f(x) as xx approaches 0 from both the left (x0x \to 0^-) and the right (x0+x \to 0^+).

  • As x0x \to 0^- (approaching 0 from the left): The graph shows that as xx gets closer to 0 from the negative side, the function f(x)f(x) approaches 2.

  • As x0+x \to 0^+ (approaching 0 from the right): The graph indicates that as xx gets closer to 0 from the positive side, the function f(x)f(x) also approaches 2.

Since both the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit as xx approaches 0 are equal and both equal to 2, we conclude:

limx0f(x)=2\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = 2
