limits

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

find the indicated limit, if it exist\[\lim_{x \rightarrow a} f(x)\]|dw:1403104288307:dw|

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

@ganeshie8 how do i determine limits? :c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the limit depends on a

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

a what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure that you wrote corectly the entire exercise?

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

yes im positive i wrote it correctly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large \lim_{x\to\color{red}{a}}\] this \(a\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It doesn't exist

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

okay but where is a in the problem.... like the numbers part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is \(x\) approaching?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's why it doesn't exist

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x is approaching a since a is not defined limit has no sense

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

its approaching a! /).(\ but the numbers. that actual numbers instead of a formula.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a can be (1,2,76557,2313,+∞,-∞..................)

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

its either 9, -4, or -13, or it dosent exist

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says that into direction??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Judging by the statement of the problem, we could probably assume \(a=0\), so you compute \[\lim_{x\to0}f(x)=\lim_{x\to0^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\to0^-}f(x)\] If the one-sided limits are the same, the limit exists.

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

no i just have multiple choice

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

but the actual equation didnt even have a lim sign before the f(x)...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the multiple choice answers

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

i just gave them like 2 messages ago

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

9, -4, or -13, or it dosent exist

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1403106315406:dw| That's my best guess
