Solution

Let's go through the problem you've shared in the image.

1. Limit Problem:

lim⁡x→16x−16x−4\lim_{x \to 16} \frac{x - 16}{\sqrt{x} - 4}

This is an indeterminate form 00\frac{0}{0}, so we can simplify using algebraic techniques like multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate.

2. Piecewise Function:

The function f(x)f(x) is defined as:

\begin{cases} x^2, & \text{if } x \leq -1 \\ -x, & \text{if } -1 < x < 1 \\ x^2 - 2, & \text{if } x \geq 1 \end{cases}$$ And we need to calculate the following: - $$\lim_{x \to 1} f(x)$$ - $$f(1)$$ - $$\lim_{x \to -1} f(x)$$ - $$\lim_{x \to -1^+} f(x)$$ - $$\lim_{x \to -1^-} f(x)$$ --- Let me first solve the first limit problem: $$\lim_{x \to 16} \frac{x - 16}{\sqrt{x} - 4}$$ Multiplying by the conjugate of the denominator $$\sqrt{x} + 4$$, we get: $$\frac{(x - 16)}{(\sqrt{x} - 4)} \cdot \frac{(\sqrt{x} + 4)}{(\sqrt{x} + 4)} = \frac{(x - 16)(\sqrt{x} + 4)}{(\sqrt{x})^2 - 16}$$ The denominator simplifies to: $$(\sqrt{x})^2 - 16 = x - 16$$ Now the expression becomes: $$\frac{(x - 16)(\sqrt{x} + 4)}{x - 16}$$ Canceling $$x - 16$$, we have: $$\lim_{x \to 16} \sqrt{x} + 4$$ Substituting $$x = 16$$, we get: $$\sqrt{16} + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8$$ Thus, $$\lim_{x \to 16} \frac{x - 16}{\sqrt{x} - 4} = 8$$ Now let's solve the other parts step by step. Shall we continue with the next limit and function values?
