Solution

The graph above represents the function f(x)f(x) based on the given conditions:

  • f(2)=0f(-2) = 0, with limits:

    • limx2f(x)=4\lim_{x \to -2^-} f(x) = 4
    • limx2+f(x)=0\lim_{x \to -2^+} f(x) = 0
    • limx2f(x)\lim_{x \to -2} f(x) does not exist due to a jump discontinuity at x=2x = -2.
  • f(4)=4f(-4) = 4, with limits:

    • limx4f(x)=4\lim_{x \to -4^-} f(x) = 4
    • limx4+f(x)=4\lim_{x \to -4^+} f(x) = 4
    • limx4f(x)=4\lim_{x \to -4} f(x) = 4, indicating a continuous point at x=4x = -4.

Do you have any questions or need further details?

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What is the definition of a jump discontinuity?
  2. How do left-hand and right-hand limits differ at a discontinuity?
  3. What does it mean when a limit does not exist at a point?
  4. How does continuity affect the existence of limits?
  5. Can a function be discontinuous but still have limits on both sides of a point?

Tip: When evaluating limits, always check the left-hand and right-hand behavior of the function at the point of interest.
