Math Problem Statement
Solution
From the uploaded image, we are solving the problem using the graph of the function . The questions involve determining specific function values and limits. Here's the breakdown:
Questions:
- : The value of at .
- : The limit of as approaches 1.
- : The value of at .
- : The limit of as approaches 5.
Step-by-Step Analysis:
(a) :
At , observe the graph. The point is clearly marked on the curve as .
(b) :
The left-hand limit and right-hand limit as converge at . Thus, .
(c) :
At , observe the graph. The graph is discontinuous at , and the solid point indicates .
(d) :
The left-hand limit approaches , but the right-hand limit approaches . Since the left-hand limit and right-hand limit do not match, the limit does not exist (DNE).
Final Answers:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
