Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the graph of the function and evaluate the limits based on the information given in the image.
Step-by-step Analysis
1.
As approaches 3 from the left:
- The value of is approaching 2.
2.
As approaches 3 from the right:
- The value of is approaching 3.
Since the left-hand and right-hand limits are not equal, the overall limit at does not exist.
3.
As approaches from the left:
- The value of is approaching 0.
4.
As approaches from the right:
- The value of is approaching 1.
Since the left-hand and right-hand limits are not equal, the overall limit at does not exist.
5.
As , there is a jump in the graph:
- From the left, .
- From the right, .
Since the left-hand and right-hand limits do not match, the limit does not exist.
Answer Summary
&\lim_{x \to 3^-} f(x) = 2, \\ &\lim_{x \to 3^+} f(x) = 3, \\ &\lim_{x \to 3} f(x) = \text{DNE}, \\ &\lim_{x \to -1^-} f(x) = 0, \\ &\lim_{x \to -1^+} f(x) = 1, \\ &\lim_{x \to -1} f(x) = \text{DNE}, \\ &\lim_{x \to 4} f(x) = \text{DNE}. \end{aligned}$$ Would you like me to provide further details or answer any specific questions? ### 5 Related Questions 1. What is a one-sided limit and how does it differ from a two-sided limit? 2. How do you determine if a limit exists at a given point? 3. What happens when the left-hand and right-hand limits do not match at a point? 4. How can discontinuities like jumps affect the existence of limits? 5. Why is it important to analyze limits from both sides for piecewise or step functions? ### Tip Always check both left-hand and right-hand limits when dealing with graphs, as this helps identify points of discontinuity where a limit may not exist.Ask a new question for Free
