Math Problem Statement
Decide whether the limit exists. If it exists, find its value. The limit is lim(x → 0) f(x), where the graph of f(x) is given.
Solution
Let's examine the graph and determine if the limit exists, and if so, find its value.
Observations from the Graph:
-
As approaches 0 from the left ():
- The function appears to approach the value 1.
-
As approaches 0 from the right ():
- The function also appears to approach the value 1.
Conclusion:
Since both the left-hand limit and right-hand limit as approaches 0 are equal and approach the same value (1), the two-sided limit exists and is equal to 1.
Thus,

Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:
- What does it mean for a limit to not exist?
- How do you evaluate limits algebraically versus graphically?
- What is the formal definition of a limit (using epsilon-delta)?
- How do limits relate to continuity at a point?
- What happens when the left-hand and right-hand limits are not equal?
Tip: When both the left-hand and right-hand limits match at a point, the two-sided limit exists at that point.
