@ganeshie8 please help, the other persson did not help
OpenStudy (anonymous):
canyou explain it? i really dont know how to do it..
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
did you get what the question is asking you to find out ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
what are the integers between -2 and 5 ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes list them down

yes
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
-1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
right ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
look at the graph at x = -1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-2 wouldnt be one?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
no because we are considering only the open interval (-2, 5)
-2 and 5 are excluded

can you tell the limit at x=-1 by looking at graph ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
it seems at x=-1,
both the left and right limits are approaching a y value of -1 eh ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohhhh
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
so the limit of the graph at x=-1 would be simply -1
which is a finite value
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
next, what about the limit at x = 0 ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
very good.
next, what about the limit at x = 1 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would this one be 1 or 2?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
at x = 1 :
as u go from left, the y value would apprach -1
as u go from right, the y value would approach 2
since they are not same,
the limit does not exist at x = 1
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
is that clear ?

so far,
the limit exists and is finite only at x = -1 and x = 0
at x = 1 it does not exist.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
got it
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
next, what about the limit at x = 2 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
does not exist?..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
why ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
at x = 2
both the left and right limits seem to approach the same value 1.75 ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
so the limit exists and is finite
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh youre right
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
what about the limit at x=4 ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes! so it also exists and is finite
OpenStudy (anonymous):
:D
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
looks we have missed x = 3
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
does the limit exist at x = 3 ?
and if it exists, is it finite ?

but that one doesnt stop anywhere?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
exactly! the limit exists and is equal to "infinity"
so its not finite, ok
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
putting it all together, the limits exists and is finite at : x = -1, 0, 2, 4
