What is the limit of h(x) as x approaches 4

What is the limit of h(x) as x approaches 4?

Solution

To find the limit of h(x)h(x) as xx approaches 4, we need to analyze the graph you've provided near x=4x = 4. Here's the breakdown:

  • As xx approaches 4 from the left (x4x \to 4^-), the graph of h(x)h(x) descends toward h(x)=4h(x) = -4.
  • As xx approaches 4 from the right (x4+x \to 4^+), the graph rises toward h(x)=4h(x) = -4.

Since both the left-hand and right-hand limits approach 4-4, we conclude that:

limx4h(x)=4\lim_{x \to 4} h(x) = -4

Would you like more details on limit behavior or any other part of the graph explained?


Here are 5 related questions that expand on this concept:

  1. What is the limit of h(x)h(x) as xx approaches 0?
  2. Does the limit of h(x)h(x) exist as xx approaches -6?
  3. Is h(x)h(x) continuous at x=4x = 4? Why or why not?
  4. What is the value of h(4)h(4), and how does it compare to the limit?
  5. How would you determine whether h(x)h(x) is differentiable at x=4x = 4?

Tip: When determining limits from a graph, always check both the left-hand and right-hand behavior to ensure the function approaches the same value from both directions.
