Math Problem Statement
Use the graph of the function g(x) to state the values of the following limits:
1. \( \lim_{{x \to 2^-}} g(x) \)
2. \( \lim_{{x \to 2^+}} g(x) \)
3. \( \lim_{{x \to 2}} g(x) \)
4. \( \lim_{{x \to 5^-}} g(x) \)
5. \( \lim_{{x \to 5^+}} g(x) \)
6. \( \lim_{{x \to 5}} g(x) \).
Solution
Let's analyze the limits of the function using the graph provided. Here are the values of each limit:
-
:
- As approaches 2 from the left, the values of approach 3.
- So, .
-
:
- As approaches 2 from the right, the values of approach 1.
- So, .
-
:
- Since the left-hand limit () and the right-hand limit () are different, the limit does not exist at .
- Therefore, does not exist.
-
:
- As approaches 5 from the left, approaches 2.
- So, .
-
:
- As approaches 5 from the right, also approaches 2.
- So, .
-
:
- Since both the left-hand limit and right-hand limit are equal to 2, the limit exists and is equal to 2.
- Therefore, .

Here are 5 related questions:
- How do we determine if a limit exists at a point?
- What is the significance of the left-hand and right-hand limits?
- How does a jump discontinuity affect the existence of a limit?
- Can a function be continuous at a point if its limit does not exist there?
- What are the different types of discontinuities in a graph?
Tip: To find the limit of a function graphically, always check the behavior of the function from both sides of the point of interest.
