@Jamie133

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have you looked at left hand and right hand limits?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, if it exists its either -9, -7, or 2 so i guessed -7 im not sure if im accurate though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you approach 0 from the negative side, then the limit of f(x) would be -9. If you approach 0 from the positive side, then the limit of f(x) would be 2. If these limits are not equal, then the limit doesn't actually exist.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh okay, i understand this so much better now! thank you so much!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if i gave you another problem could you help me with it? @Jamie133

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem (: Are you sure that that is all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can try!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, here it is attached

OpenStudy (anonymous):

checking them from both sides, but they are not equal!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So if I am correct, the limit does not exist again!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, then on this one (new one i have attached) it doesnt exists again? Im not sure if thats right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are you getting for your limits as x tends to -1 from above and below?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am getting 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much @Jamie133 you were right on all three!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem, any time! :)
