Math Problem Statement

Use the given graph of f to state the value of each quantity, if it exists. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

Solution

I see that you've uploaded an image with a graph and several limit and function evaluation questions. Let's address each of the questions based on the graph.

I will first interpret the graph and provide answers to the following:

(a) limx2f(x)\lim_{{x \to 2^-}} f(x): This represents the left-hand limit as xx approaches 2. We need to find the value of the function as xx approaches 2 from the left.

(b) limx2+f(x)\lim_{{x \to 2^+}} f(x): This represents the right-hand limit as xx approaches 2. We need to find the value of the function as xx approaches 2 from the right.

(c) limx2f(x)\lim_{{x \to 2}} f(x): This is the two-sided limit as xx approaches 2. For the limit to exist, the left-hand and right-hand limits must be equal.

(d) f(2)f(2): This is the value of the function at x=2x = 2.

(e) limx4f(x)\lim_{{x \to 4^-}} f(x): This represents the left-hand limit as xx approaches 4.

(f) f(4)f(4): This is the value of the function at x=4x = 4.

I'll now analyze the graph and fill in the answers.

Let me examine the image and provide the answers. PIL import Image

Load the image to examine the graph

image_path = "/mnt/data/17383876539892xkf9jr3.jpg" img = Image.open(image_path) img.show()I have opened the image, and I will now interpret the graph and answer the questions based on it. Let me analyze the limits and function values:

  • (a) limx2f(x)\lim_{{x \to 2^-}} f(x): The left-hand limit at x=2x = 2 is the value the function approaches from the left side. In the graph, it appears that as xx approaches 2 from the left, the function is approaching 2.

  • (b) limx2+f(x)\lim_{{x \to 2^+}} f(x): The right-hand limit at x=2x = 2 is the value the function approaches from the right side. The graph shows that as xx approaches 2 from the right, the function approaches a value near 3.

  • (c) limx2f(x)\lim_{{x \to 2}} f(x): The two-sided limit at x=2x = 2 only exists if the left and right limits are equal. Since the left-hand limit is 2 and the right-hand limit is 3, this two-sided limit does not exist.

  • (d) f(2)f(2): The value of the function at x=2x = 2 is given by the open circle at x=2x = 2, which is 2 (since it's an open circle, it does not include 2, but the value approaches it).

  • (e) limx4f(x)\lim_{{x \to 4^-}} f(x): The left-hand limit at x=4x = 4 appears to be approaching a value of 3 as xx approaches 4 from the left.

  • (f) f(4)f(4): The value of the function at x=4x = 4 is the closed circle at x=4x = 4, which is 4.

So, here are the answers:

  • (a) limx2f(x)=2\lim_{{x \to 2^-}} f(x) = 2
  • (b) limx2+f(x)=3\lim_{{x \to 2^+}} f(x) = 3
  • (c) limx2f(x)=DNE\lim_{{x \to 2}} f(x) = \text{DNE} (Does Not Exist)
  • (d) f(2)=2f(2) = 2
  • (e) limx4f(x)=3\lim_{{x \to 4^-}} f(x) = 3
  • (f) f(4)=4f(4) = 4

Would you like more details or further clarification on any of these answers?
