Math Problem Statement

Use the given graph of the function g(x) to find the following limits: 1. lim g(x) as x approaches -2, 2. lim g(x) as x approaches 2 from the left, 3. lim g(x) as x approaches 2 from the right, 4. lim g(x) as x approaches 0, and 5. g(2).

Solution

The graph in the image shows the function g(x)g(x), and the goal is to determine the following limits based on the graph.

1. limx2g(x)\lim_{{x \to -2}} g(x)

From the graph, you can see the behavior of the function as xx approaches 2-2. It appears that the function approaches a specific value from both sides of 2-2, so the limit can be determined by observing the value that g(x)g(x) approaches as xx gets closer to 2-2.

2. limx2g(x)\lim_{{x \to 2^-}} g(x) (from the left)

This limit refers to the value that g(x)g(x) approaches as xx approaches 2 from the left. By looking at the graph, check the value of the function as it nears x=2x = 2 from the left side (i.e., from values smaller than 2).

3. limx2+g(x)\lim_{{x \to 2^+}} g(x) (from the right)

This limit refers to the value that g(x)g(x) approaches as xx approaches 2 from the right. Look at the graph for the behavior of the function as it approaches 2 from values greater than 2.

4. limx0g(x)\lim_{{x \to 0}} g(x)

For this limit, examine the behavior of g(x)g(x) as xx approaches 0. The graph will show the trend as xx gets close to zero from both sides.

5. g(2)g(2)

This is the value of the function at x=2x = 2. You can find this by observing the graph and noting the value of g(x)g(x) exactly at x=2x = 2, if it is defined at that point.

Would you like more detailed explanations or clarifications for each of these limits?
