I'm not sure because of the noncontinuous points...

OpenStudy (perl):

which one would you like help with, number 1 ?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

both please

OpenStudy (perl):

for number 1, the limit exists, because the function is *approaching* the same y value from the right and left

OpenStudy (perl):

OpenStudy (perl):

the fact that the value f(-1) is missing , doesn't matter. what matters for the limit is what the y value is approaching, as close as you want

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Okay, thank you. So the answers would be -1 and 2, correct?

OpenStudy (perl):

for number 2. the y value is approaching 1

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

oh, okay. So I ignore the other point?

OpenStudy (perl):

right, because the limit doesn't care what happens at the point itself

OpenStudy (perl):

the limit only cares what happens as you are getting closer, where it is going to imagine its like a ball, where would the ball keep going if you let it go

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Okay. Thank you. :)
