Math Problem Statement
Do both A and B answers only no explanation needed do both left and right for both a and b
Use the graph to find the following limits and function values for each value of a. For a = 0 and a = 2, determine the left-hand limit, right-hand limit, two-sided limit, and the function value if it exists.
Solution
Let's work through the answers.
For part a (a = 0):
-
(left-hand limit as approaches 0):
- From the graph, as approaches 0 from the left, tends toward 2.
-
(right-hand limit as approaches 0):
- As approaches 0 from the right, also tends toward 2.
-
(two-sided limit as approaches 0):
- Since both left and right limits are equal, the limit as approaches 0 is 2.
-
(value of the function at ):
- The graph shows that .
For part b (a = 2):
-
(left-hand limit as approaches 2):
- As approaches 2 from the left, approaches -2.
-
(right-hand limit as approaches 2):
- As approaches 2 from the right, tends toward 2.
-
(two-sided limit as approaches 2):
- Since the left and right limits are not equal, the two-sided limit does not exist.
-
(value of the function at ):
- The graph shows (solid point at ).
