Math Problem Statement

In the following exercises, use the following graph of the function y = f(x) to find the values, if possible. Estimate when necessary.

Solution

Let's analyze the graph and answer the given limit and function value questions.

Step 1: Understanding the Graph

  • The function has a closed dot at (1,1)(1,1), meaning f(1)=1f(1) = 1.
  • The function has an open dot at (1,2)(1,2), meaning the function is not defined at y=2y = 2 for x=1x = 1, but it approaches this value from the left or right.
  • The function behaves piecewise, changing its path at different intervals.

Answering the Questions
