Math Problem Statement
fill out the blanks
Solution
Looking at the graph of the function , I will now fill in the blanks for each limit or value:
(a) : As approaches 0 from the left, the function approaches . So, the answer is:
(b) : As approaches 0 from the right, the function approaches . So, the answer is:
(c) : Since the left-hand limit and right-hand limit are not equal, the limit does not exist (DNE). So, the answer is:
(d) : As approaches 2 from the left, the function approaches . So, the answer is:
(e) : As approaches 2 from the right, the function approaches . So, the answer is:
(f) : Since the left-hand limit and right-hand limit are not equal, the limit does not exist (DNE). So, the answer is:
(g) : There is a hole in the graph at , so the function is not defined at this point. So, the answer is:
(h) : As approaches 4 from both sides, the function approaches . So, the answer is:
Let me know if you'd like a detailed explanation for any of these limits or if you have questions!
Here are some related questions for further practice:
- What is the significance of left-hand and right-hand limits?
- Why does a limit not exist when the left-hand and right-hand limits are different?
- How do discontinuities like holes and jumps affect the existence of limits?
- Can a function be continuous at a point if the limit exists but the function is not defined at that point?
- How can you determine the value of a function at a specific point from its graph?
Tip: For a function to have a limit at a point, the left-hand and right-hand limits must both exist and be equal!
