Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the graph of to answer the given questions.
- (already provided).
Now, let's address the limit questions:
-
:
The graph shows a discontinuity at . From the left side of (as ), the value of approaches 1. From the right side (as ), the value of approaches 3. Since the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit are not equal, the overall limit does not exist.
Therefore, .
-
:
Looking at the graph from the right of , the value of is 5. Since the graph approaches from the right with no discontinuity, the right-hand limit exists and equals 5.
Therefore, .
-
:
At , there is also a discontinuity. From the left of , the value of approaches 2, and from the right, the value of approaches 4. Since these values are different, the limit does not exist.
Therefore, .
Summary of Answers:
Would you like further details or explanations on any of these steps?
Here are 5 additional questions that expand on this:
- What is ?
- What is the value of ?
- Is continuous at ?
- What is the left-hand limit ?
- How many discontinuities does the function have on the interval ?
Tip: Limits involving discontinuities are best handled by checking the behavior from both sides (left and right) to confirm if they match.
