Math Problem Statement

(e)
lim x → 4 f(x)

Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

(f)
f(4)

(e) lim x → 4 f(x) (f) f(4)

Solution

Let's analyze the graph you provided to answer the two parts (e) and (f):

(e) limx4f(x)\lim_{x \to 4} f(x):

This question asks for the limit of f(x)f(x) as xx approaches 4. Looking at the graph near x=4x = 4, the function appears to approach a value close to 33. Therefore, we can estimate:

limx4f(x)=3.\lim_{x \to 4} f(x) = 3.

(f) f(4)f(4):

This part asks for the value of the function at x=4x = 4. From the graph, we can see that there is a small open circle at x=4x = 4, which means that the function is not defined at this point.

Thus, we conclude: f(4) is undefined.f(4) \text{ is undefined.}

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What is the difference between a limit and the function value at a point?
  2. How do you determine whether a function is continuous at a point?
  3. Can a function have a limit at a point where it is not defined?
  4. What are removable and non-removable discontinuities in a graph?
  5. How do we analyze the behavior of a function as xx approaches infinity?

Tip: When dealing with limits, always check for open or closed points at specific xx-values, as these often indicate whether a function is defined or not at that point!
