Math Problem Statement

Use the graph of H shown to the right to find the limit. When necessary, state that the limit does not exist. lim H(x) as x -> -2.

Solution

From the uploaded image, the task is to determine the limit of H(x)H(x) as x2x \to -2 using the given graph.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Identify the behavior of H(x)H(x) as x2x \to -2:

    • Locate x=2x = -2 on the graph.
    • Analyze the y-values of H(x)H(x) as xx approaches 2-2 from the left (x2x \to -2^-) and from the right (x2+x \to -2^+).
  2. From the graph:

    • As x2x \to -2^- (approaching 2-2 from the left), the y-values approach 6.
    • As x2+x \to -2^+ (approaching 2-2 from the right), the y-values also approach 6.
  3. Conclusion:

    • Since the y-values from both sides approach the same value, the limit exists and is equal to 66.

Final Answer:

  • Select option A: limx2H(x)=6\lim_{x \to -2} H(x) = 6.
