Math Problem Statement

Decide from the graph whether a limit exists. If a limit exists, find its value: lim F(x) as x approaches 2.

Solution

To solve this, let's analyze the graph and determine if the limit of F(x)F(x) as xx approaches 2 exists.

  1. Looking at the graph near x=2x = 2, observe the behavior of the function as xx gets close to 2 from both the left and right sides.
  2. The graph appears to approach the value y=3y = 3 from both sides as xx approaches 2.
  3. Since the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit both approach the same value, the limit exists and equals 3.

Thus, the correct choice is:

A. The limit is the real number 3.

Would you like further details or explanations on this? Here are some related questions to explore:

  1. How do we formally define the limit of a function at a point?
  2. What are left-hand and right-hand limits, and how do they relate to the overall limit?
  3. How can you determine the limit from a graph when there are discontinuities?
  4. What is the significance of the limit in understanding the behavior of a function?
  5. How do limits help in understanding the continuity of a function?

Tip: When evaluating limits graphically, always check the behavior from both sides of the point to confirm if they converge to the same value.
