Math Problem Statement
Determine the function values and limits based on the graph provided.
Solution
Let's analyze the graph and the corresponding questions. The task involves determining the function values and limits based on the given graph.
-
:
- From the graph, when , the value of the function is 2 (solid black dot at ).
-
(left-hand limit as ):
- Approaching from the left, as approaches 0, the graph seems to be approaching the value 1 (solid dot at ).
-
(right-hand limit as ):
- As approaches 5 from the right, the graph approaches the value 3 (open circle at , so not defined exactly at 5, but approaches 3).
-
(two-sided limit):
- Approaching from the left as , the value of the function approaches 2.
- Approaching from the right as , the function approaches 3.
- Since the left-hand and right-hand limits are not equal, the limit does not exist (DNE).
Summary of answers:
Would you like a detailed explanation of any specific step? Here are some related questions:
- What is the difference between left-hand and right-hand limits?
- Why does the two-sided limit not exist at ?
- How can we identify a discontinuity on a graph?
- What is the significance of open and closed dots in determining limits?
- How does a piecewise function influence the behavior of limits?
Tip: When checking limits graphically, always verify whether the left-hand and right-hand limits agree for the two-sided limit to exist.
