Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the function f(x) at x = 9 and determine the limits at x = 0, x approaching 9 from the right, and x approaching 4.

Solution

Let's analyze the graph and the problem provided:

  1. For f(9)f(9):

    • From the graph, look at the point where x=9x = 9. The open circle at x=9x = 9 indicates that the function is undefined at that point. Therefore, f(9)=undefinedf(9) = \text{undefined}.
  2. For limx0f(x)\lim_{x \to 0} f(x):

    • To find the limit as xx approaches 0, observe the behavior of the function near x=0x = 0. From the graph, both sides of x=0x = 0 approach the value 33, so limx0f(x)=3\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = 3.

Here are the answers based on the graph:

  • f(9)=undefinedf(9) = \text{undefined}
  • limx0f(x)=3\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = 3
