Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the graph and solve the limits based on the function .
-
: As , the function approaches a value from both sides. From the left and the right, the graph approaches . So,
-
(right-hand limit as ): From the right of , the graph approaches , so
-
: The left-hand limit of as approaches , but the right-hand limit approaches . Since the left and right limits are not equal, this limit does not exist (DNE).
-
: As , the graph approaches from both sides, so
-
: As from the right, the graph again approaches , so
-
: As , the graph approaches from both sides, so
-
: From the right of , the graph approaches , so
