One more: does it matter that the circle is black? The graph of f is shown below. Give lim f (x) x goes to 1

2

myininaya (myininaya):

we don't care what happens at x=1 we are trying to see what f(x) approaches at we get close to 1 on the x-axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, meaning as it gets close to, i.e. approaches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't bother with the circle colors...as myininaya tells we only bother the approaching value.

myininaya (myininaya):

you wanted to know what the black dot means it just means that f(1) exist

myininaya (myininaya):

if the dot wasn't filled, then f(1) does not exist

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so open circle means that it isn;t a point on the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

myininaya (myininaya):

unfilled means when we plug 1 into our function we do not get an output for that number

myininaya (myininaya):

unless the function is defined somewhere else with a dot off the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok cool

myininaya (myininaya):

would yo like me to show you an example
