Exercise 44: Analyzing Limits from the Graph of y=f(x)y = f(x)

In this exercise, we are asked to estimate or determine the value of various limits based on the graph provided (Figure 1.18).

Limits:

  • limx0f(x)\lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) (a): This is the left-hand limit as xx approaches 0. From the graph, the function appears to approach a vertical asymptote, and the value of f(x)f(x) tends to -\infty.

  • limx0+f(x)\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) (b): This is the right-hand limit as x0x \to 0. The graph shows that as xx approaches 0 from the right, f(x)f(x) tends to ++\infty.

  • limx0f(x)\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) (c): Since the left-hand limit tends to -\infty and the right-hand limit tends to ( +\in
