Math Problem Statement

For the function g whose graph is given, state the value of each quantity, if it exists. If it does not exist, explain why.

Solution

From the image you uploaded, it shows a question related to limits and continuity for a given function gg whose graph is provided. The question asks to evaluate or explain the limits for various values of tt based on the graph of g(t)g(t).

Here’s the breakdown of the limits you need to evaluate based on the graph:

  1. limt0g(t)\lim_{t \to 0^-} g(t)

    • The limit as tt approaches 0 from the left-hand side.
  2. limt0+g(t)\lim_{t \to 0^+} g(t)

    • The limit as tt approaches 0 from the right-hand side.
  3. limt0g(t)\lim_{t \to 0} g(t)

    • The overall limit as tt approaches 0 from both sides (this exists if and only if the left-hand and right-hand limits are equal).
  4. limt2g(t)\lim_{t \to 2^-} g(t)

    • The limit as tt approaches 2 from the left-hand side.
  5. limt2+g(t)\lim_{t \to 2^+} g(t)

    • The limit as tt approaches 2 from the right-hand side.
  6. limt2g(t)\lim_{t \to 2} g(t)

    • The overall limit as tt approaches 2 from both sides.
  7. g(2)g(2)

    • The actual value of the function g(t)g(t) at t=2t = 2, if defined.
  8. limt4g(t)\lim_{t \to 4} g(t)

    • The overall limit as tt approaches 4.

Steps to proceed:

  • You’ll need to observe the behavior of the graph at each point t=0,2,4t = 0, 2, 4 and check whether the left-hand and right-hand limits agree at those points.
  • If the graph has a jump or discontinuity, the limit at that point might not exist.

Let me know if you want a detailed step-by-step evaluation of each of the limits, or if you have any specific question! Here's a list of relative questions:

  1. How do you determine the limit from a graph at specific points?
  2. What is the difference between left-hand and right-hand limits?
  3. How do you evaluate if a limit exists or does not exist at a given point?
  4. What happens if the left-hand and right-hand limits are not equal?
  5. How do you interpret the value of the function at a specific point when evaluating limits?

Tip:

When analyzing limits from a graph, always pay attention to whether the graph has a hole, jump, or asymptote at the point of interest.
