Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the graph and the given statements one by one.
Statement I:
From the graph, as (approaching from the left) and (approaching from the right), both limits approach 1. Therefore, the left-hand and right-hand limits are equal: Thus, Statement I is true.
Statement II:
From the graph, as (from the left), , and as (from the right), . Since the left-hand and right-hand limits are not equal, the limit does not exist. Therefore, Statement II is true.
Statement III:
From the graph, we see:
- (as calculated from Statement I).
Since the limit as is not equal to , Statement III is false.
Conclusion:
The true statements are I and II. Therefore, the correct answer is (C) II and III only.
