Math Problem Statement

Find the limit of the function f(x) as x approaches 4, based on the graph provided.

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to find the limit of the function f(x)f(x) as xx approaches 44 based on the graph provided. Let's analyze the graph:

  1. As xx approaches 44 from the left (x4x \to 4^-), the values of f(x)f(x) appear to get closer to 22.
  2. As xx approaches 44 from the right (x4+x \to 4^+), the values of f(x)f(x) also approach 22.

Since the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit are equal: limx4f(x)=2\lim_{x \to 4} f(x) = 2

So, the answer is: limx4f(x)=2\lim_{x \to 4} f(x) = 2

Tip: When evaluating limits from a graph, always check both the left-hand and right-hand behavior of the function as it approaches the point in question.
