Example Question #31 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
Given the above graph of , what is ?
By examining the above graph of , we can observe that as approaches from the left,
Example Question #1 : Limits
Given the graph of above, what is ?
Examining the graph of the function above, we need to look at three things:
1) What is the limit of the function as it approaches zero from the left?
2) What is the limit of the function as it approaches zero from the right?
3) What is the function value at zero and is it equal to the first two statements?
If we look at the graph we see that as approaches zero from the left the values approach zero as well. This is also true if we look the values as approaches zero from the right. Lastly we look at the function value at zero which in this case is also zero.
Therefore, we can observe that as approaches .
Example Question #32 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
Given the graph of above, what is ?
Examining the graph of the function above, we can observe that there is a horizontal asymptote at . Now if we look at the function values as approaches we see that the values tend to .
Therefore we can observe that as approaches .
Example Question #33 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
Given the graph of above, what is ?
Examining the graph above, we need to look at three things:
1) What is the limit of the function as approaches zero from the left?
2) What is the limit of the function as approaches zero from the right?
3) What is the function value as and is it the same as the result from statement one and two?
Looking at the graph we can determine that as approaches because from both the left and right sides of zero, the function is approaching infinity.
Example Question #4 : Limits
Given the graph of above, what is ?
Does not exist
Does not exist
Examining the graph above, we need to look at three things:
1) What is the limit of the function as approaches zero from the left?
2) What is the limit of the function as approaches zero from the right?
3) What is the function value as and is it the same as the result from statement one and two?
Therefore, we can determine that does not exist, since approaches two different limits from either side : from the left and from the right.
Example Question #34 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
Given the graph of above, what is ?
Does not exist
Does not exist
Examining the graph above, we need to look at three things:
1) What is the limit of the function as approaches zero from the left?
2) What is the limit of the function as approaches zero from the right?
3) What is the function value as and is it the same as the result from statement one and two?
We can observe that does not exist, as approaches two different limits: from the left and from the right.
Example Question #35 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
Given a graph of the function , what is ?
Examining the graph above, we need to look at three things:
1) What is the limit of the function as approaches zero from the left?
2) What is the limit of the function as approaches zero from the right?
3) What is the function value as and is it the same as the result from statement one and two?
We can observe that , as approaches from the left and from the right.
Example Question #36 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
Given the graph of , what is ?
Examining the graph above, we need to look at three things:
1) What is the limit of the function as approaches zero from the left?
2) What is the limit of the function as approaches zero from the right?
3) What is the function value as and is it the same as the result from statement one and two?
We can observe that , as approaches from the left and from the right.
Example Question #36 : Finding Limits And One Sided Limits
Evaluate the following limit:
The limit does not exist.
Since an absolute value function is involved, first rewrite the expression as a piecewise function.
is a left-sided limit, so in we are interested in what happens as the function approached 0 from values x<0.
The function f(x) is for , so the limit has value .
Example Question #81 : Limits
Given the graph of the function above, what is ?
Examining the graph, we want to find where the graph tends to as it approaches zero from the left hand side. We can see that there appears to be a vertical asymptote at zero. As the x values approach zero from the left the function values of the graph tend towards negative infinity.
Therefore, we can observe that as approaches from the left.
