what is the limit of f(X)=4 as x approaches pi

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

f(x) = 4 is a constant function

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so this means that no matter what x value you plug in, you're always going to get the same output: 4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

therefore the limiting value is 4

ohhh ok... but what if it was asking for the limit of g(x)=x as x approaches pi what would that be

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this function is continuous at x = pi (since it's continuous everywhere), so to find the limiting value, just evaluate g(pi)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but g(pi)= pi

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so the limiting value is pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok thanks very much....
