can anyone help me please i dont understand this ?
Find the indicated limit, if it exists.
lim f(x),
x approaches -10
{-4-x , x<-10}
{6 , x=-10}
{x+16, x>-10}

Answer 1

Do you know what is limit ?

Answer 2

yeaa what it doesnt go past

Answer 4

whats funny ?

Answer 5

wat @vikrantg4

Explain him limits plz.

Answer 7

just solve the problem all i need is an example and im good bra

Answer 8

Limit simply means the value that a certain function will attain when the input (the x) gets closer and closer to a given value.
Here the function is defined..
Now when we approach -10 from the left side, we have put x=-10 in the 1st equation which is defined for x<-10. This is called the left hand limit and it equals 6.
On approaching from right side, we put x= -10 in the 3rd eqn defined for x> -10 again giving 6. This is called the right hand limit.
Since the LHL and the RHL are finite and equal, we say that the limit exists and is equal to 6..

Answer 9

while that is a nice write up of the problem, we would like to leave a little thinking or pencil work to the askers so that they learn to apply a process.
