Math Problem Statement

What is \(\lim_{x \to 2^-} f(x)\) based on the given graph?

Solution

To solve the limit limx2f(x)\lim_{x \to 2^-} f(x), we need to evaluate the behavior of the function f(x)f(x) as xx approaches 2 from the left side based on the given graph.

  • From the graph, as xx approaches 2 from the left (x2x \to 2^-), the function values approach 1. This is because the graph moves towards the point (2,1)(2, 1) from the left.

Thus, the limit is:

limx2f(x)=1\lim_{x \to 2^-} f(x) = 1

Do you need any further details or explanations? Let me know! Here are some additional questions you might find helpful:

  1. What is limx2+f(x)\lim_{x \to 2^+} f(x)?
  2. Does limx2f(x)\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) exist?
  3. What is the value of f(2)f(2)?
  4. How do limits from the left and right affect continuity at a point?
  5. What is the behavior of the function as xx approaches 4?

Tip: When the limit from the left does not equal the limit from the right, the overall limit at that point does not exist.
