Math Problem Statement

Diketahui fungsi f(x) = |2x - 4| / (2 - x). Berikut adalah pernyataan yang benar tentang limit dan nilai dari fungsi ini.

Solution

The given function is f(x)=2x42xf(x) = \frac{|2x - 4|}{2 - x}, and the question asks which statements about this function are correct.

Let's analyze each statement one by one:

  1. f(2)f(2): f(2)=2(2)422=440=00(undefined)f(2) = \frac{|2(2) - 4|}{2 - 2} = \frac{|4 - 4|}{0} = \frac{0}{0} \quad \text{(undefined)} So, the value of f(2)f(2) does not exist.

  2. Limits as x2x \to 2:

    The behavior of the function around x=2x = 2 needs to be checked by approaching from the left and right:

    • For x2+x \to 2^+ (approaching 2 from the right):

      • When x>2x > 2, 2x4=2x4|2x - 4| = 2x - 4, so the function becomes: f(x)=2x42xf(x) = \frac{2x - 4}{2 - x} As x2+x \to 2^+, the denominator 2x2 - x approaches 0 from the negative side, and the numerator 2x42x - 4 approaches 0 from the positive side. Therefore: limx2+f(x)=\lim_{x \to 2^+} f(x) = -\infty
    • For x2x \to 2^- (approaching 2 from the left):

      • When x<2x < 2, 2x4=(2x4)=42x|2x - 4| = -(2x - 4) = 4 - 2x, so the function becomes: f(x)=42x2xf(x) = \frac{4 - 2x}{2 - x} As x2x \to 2^-, the denominator 2x2 - x approaches 0 from the positive side, and the numerator 42x4 - 2x approaches 0 from the positive side. Therefore: limx2f(x)=+\lim_{x \to 2^-} f(x) = +\infty

    Since the one-sided limits do not match, the two-sided limit does not exist.

  3. Other limits and values:

    • limx0+f(x)\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x): f(x)=2x42xf(x) = \frac{|2x - 4|}{2 - x} As x0+x \to 0^+, the numerator approaches 4 and the denominator approaches 2, so: limx0+f(x)=42=2\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) = \frac{4}{2} = 2

Correct Answers:

  • (a) f(2)f(2) does not exist.
  • (d) limx2f(x)\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) does not exist.
  • (g) limx2f(x)\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) exists (this statement is false).
  • (h) limx0+f(x)=2\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) = 2.

Would you like more details or explanations about any part of the solution?

Here are 5 follow-up questions to deepen understanding:

  1. Why does f(2)f(2) result in an undefined form 00\frac{0}{0}?
  2. How does the behavior of f(x)f(x) change when x2x \to 2 from the left and right?
  3. What is the significance of checking one-sided limits in this problem?
  4. Why does limx2+f(x)=\lim_{x \to 2^+} f(x) = -\infty but limx2f(x)=+\lim_{x \to 2^-} f(x) = +\infty?
  5. How can we verify limits analytically using the piecewise nature of absolute values?

Tip: Always evaluate one-sided limits separately when there is an absolute value function involved, as the function might behave differently on either side of a given point.
