What is the approximate value of the limit lim f(x) x -> 0 (if it exists) according to the graph attached inside? does it not exist? is that right? :) thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

graph! :)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Do you know how to right it out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just DNE? is that right? because there is no limit leading from the right side from zero right?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

in other words, because it doesn't approach zero you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah :)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am not good at this staff, but I think so.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha okie :) also, i have another limit problem that i was wondering if i was right on :) what is the limit: lim f(x) x->1 would it be DNE? because x->1- = 3 and x-> 1+ = 1? so since they aren't the same, there is no limit for x-> 1 ? here's the graph attached :)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large \bf lim_{x\to 0^{\color{red}{ +}}}\quad f(x)\implies 0\qquad\qquad lim_{x\to 0^{\color{red}{ -}}}\quad f(x)\implies 3\) so the two-sided limit, you're correct, DNE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okie :) yay!! what about that second one? and glad to see latex is working again!!:)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large{ \bf lim_{x\to 1^{\color{red}{ +}}}\quad f(x)\implies 3\qquad\qquad lim_{x\to 1^{\color{red}{ -}}}\quad f(x)\implies 3\\ \quad \\ \implies lim_{x\to 1}\quad f(x)\implies 3}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm confused on this one... could you please explain this? doesn't the left limit go to 1 ? :/ while the right one goes to 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know if im getting limits mixed up though haha

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm no... if you start off from 0 -> 1 < - 2 from the left it'd got to "3"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay i see now :) thank you!!! :D
