Solution
Let's analyze the problem step-by-step based on the graphs and the requested function values and limits:
We have two graphs: Graph A and Graph B. The task asks to evaluate the following expressions using the graphs:
1.
- From Graph A and Graph B:
- Look at the y-coordinate where .
2.
- Check the limit of the function as approaches 3.
- Does the function approach a particular value from both sides?
3.
- Evaluate the function at .
4.
- Find the value the function approaches as gets close to -3 from both sides.
Graph A Analysis:
- Graph A seems to have a piecewise function with a possible jump discontinuity.
- From Graph A, when , the point on the graph is an open circle (so might be undefined). However, for the limit , it looks like the y-value approaches some value.
- The same logic applies to .
Graph B Analysis:
- Similar observations need to be made for Graph B by looking at where and .
Let me interpret the graph values for these specific points.
I have opened the image, allowing me to examine it closely. I'll now interpret the values for , , and the corresponding limits using both graphs.
Graph A:
-
For :
- The point at appears to have an open circle, indicating that the function is undefined at . Thus, in Graph A is undefined.
-
For :
- The graph seems to approach a certain value as approaches 3 from both sides. It looks like the graph approaches , so the limit is likely .
-
For :
- The graph has a defined point at (likely a filled point), meaning should be the y-coordinate at that point, which is .
-
For :
- As approaches -3, the graph seems to be approaching from both sides, so the limit is .
Graph B:
-
For :
- Similar to Graph A, seems to have a value at . Thus, in Graph B.
-
For :
- The limit as approaches 3 appears to be , as the graph approaches this value from both sides.
-
For :
- The point at has a value of .
-
For :
- The limit as approaches -3 is , as the graph tends to this value from both sides.
Final Results:

Tip: When checking limits graphically, always observe the trend of the graph from both the left and right sides as approaches the point of interest.
