Solution

Let's analyze the graph and solve each part of the question based on the provided function g(x)g(x).

(a) limxg(x)\lim_{x \to \infty} g(x)

As xx approaches infinity, the graph appears to level off at a specific value, meaning there is a horizontal asymptote. From the graph, it seems that g(x)g(x) approaches 0 as xx \to \infty.

Answer: 00

(b) limxg(x)\lim_{x \to -\infty} g(x)

As xx approaches negative infinity, the graph moves downward and appears to tend toward negative infinity.

Answer: NN (negative infinity)

(c) limx3g(x)\lim_{x \to 3} g(x)

As xx approaches 3, the graph shows a sharp discontinuity, meaning the limit likely does not exist.

Answer: DD (does not exist)

(d) limx0g(x)\lim_{x \to 0} g(x)

As xx approaches 0, the graph smoothly crosses the origin. The value of g(x)g(x) at 0 seems to be 0.

Answer: 00

(e) limx2+g(x)\lim_{x \to -2^+} g(x)

As xx approaches 2-2 from the right, the graph seems to tend toward 0.

Answer: 00

(f) The equations of the asymptotes

The graph shows two types of asymptotes:

  • A vertical asymptote occurs around x=3x = 3 due to the discontinuity.
  • A horizontal asymptote at y=0y = 0 as xx \to \infty.

Answer:

  • Vertical asymptote: x=3x = 3
  • Horizontal asymptote: y=0y = 0

Final Answers:

(a) 00
(b) NN
(c) DD
(d) 00
(e) 00

(f)

  • x=3x = 3 (vertical asymptote)
  • y=0y = 0 (horizontal asymptote)

Do you want any further clarification on this? Here are five related questions you might be interested in:

  1. How do you determine the limit of a function from its graph?
  2. What is the difference between a horizontal and a vertical asymptote?
  3. How can you find limits approaching discontinuities?
  4. Can a function have more than one horizontal asymptote?
  5. What happens when a function approaches infinity on both ends?

Tip: When analyzing graphs, always check for patterns like asymptotes and discontinuities. This will help in determining limits.
