Math Problem Statement

Use the graph to find the indicated limit: Find \( \lim_{{x \to 4^+}} f(x) \).

Solution

The problem asks for the limit:

limx4+f(x)\lim_{{x \to 4^+}} f(x)

This means we are trying to find the limit of the function f(x)f(x) as xx approaches 4 from the right side (positive side).

Looking at the graph:

  1. The curve of f(x)f(x) as xx approaches 4 from the right (values slightly greater than 4) follows an upward trajectory.
  2. At x=4x = 4, the graph is continuous, and the value of f(x)f(x) appears to be approximately 11.

Therefore, the right-hand limit as x4+x \to 4^+ is:

limx4+f(x)=1\lim_{{x \to 4^+}} f(x) = 1

Would you like further clarification, or is there anything else you want to explore related to this topic?

Here are some related questions you might find useful:

  1. How do we determine the left-hand limit as x4x \to 4^- from this graph?
  2. What is the significance of a function being continuous at a point in relation to limits?
  3. How can we calculate limits if the graph is not provided?
  4. Can limits exist even if a function is undefined at the point being approached?
  5. How are limits related to the concept of derivatives in calculus?

Tip: To determine limits graphically, always check the behavior of the graph on both sides of the point you're approaching, paying attention to any discontinuities.
