Math Problem Statement
Based on the graph above, evaluate the following limits:
1. lim_{x -> -∞} f(x)
2. lim_{x -> -2^+} f(x)
3. lim_{x -> 1} f(x)
4. lim_{x -> 2} f(x)
Solution
Let's evaluate the limits based on the graph provided:
-
:
- As , the graph approaches a horizontal line just below . Therefore, the limit is:
-
(limit as approaches from the right):
- From the graph, as , the graph shoots up towards positive infinity. So, the limit is:
-
:
- As , both from the left and right, the function approaches a value of . Therefore, the limit is:
-
:
- At , there's a hole in the graph at , and the function approaches from both sides. Thus, the limit is:
Here are the final values for the limits:

Here are 5 follow-up questions related to limits:
- What happens to (from the left side of )?
- Can a function have a limit at a point where it is not defined?
- How would you describe a limit that approaches different values from the left and right?
- What conditions must be met for a function to be continuous at a point?
- How do vertical asymptotes affect limits?
Tip: When approaching limits from the left or right, always check the behavior of the graph carefully to determine if the function tends to a finite value, infinity, or does not exist (DNE).
