What are your choices?
OpenStudy (hang254):
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you see it approaches different value from 2 sides
OpenStudy (hang254):
DNE
1; 1
-2; 3
3; -2

but, a one sides limit does exist,.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea, because it is shaded right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 2}f(x)~~DNE\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
brostep, wha?
OpenStudy (hang254):
so the left side doesn't exist?

\[why?~~~\lim_{x \rightarrow 2}f(x)~~DNE,~~~beca use,~~~~\lim_{x \rightarrow 2^+}f(x) \neq \lim_{x \rightarrow 2^-}~f(x).\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a side DOES exist.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
one sides limit almost always does exist, I guess, unless you are too far off, like
|dw:1417797178453:dw|
OpenStudy (hang254):
oh, alright
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes, the left sided limit is just the line that comes from the left, and as x approaches 2 , the f(x) approaches?

3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and from the right side?
OpenStudy (hang254):
-2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
there you, and this what it means that
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 2^+} f(x) \neq \lim_{x \rightarrow 2^-} f(x) \]

but that only means, again, that
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 2} f(x) ~~~DNE\]
But,
\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 2^+} f(x)~~~ex ists\]and\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 2^-} f(x)~~~ex ists\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1 sides limit exists, 2 sides limit does not.
Done.
OpenStudy (hang254):
Ok, Thank you Very Much!
