@PHUNISH please post the question

Answer 4

think..what does f(x) "want" to be as you approach 3 from the left side?

Answer 5

3

Answer 6

that's what x is, what about f(x)

Answer 7

f(3)

Answer 8

-3 or 1?

Answer 9

what's the y value at x=3, if you're coming up the line from the left side?

Answer 10

0?

Answer 11

no.. what you want to do is check f(x) for values close to x=3, but coming at it just slightly on the left side. That's what the x->3- means.. the - means come at x=3 from the left side.

Answer 12

Im sorry Im so lost

Answer 13

it's ok.. imagine traveling along the line of the graph from left to right, kind of sneaking up to where x=3

The thing about a limit is that you don't actually care about the y-value AT x=3, you only care what that y-value is approaching as you get closer and closer.

So looking at the graph, if x is say, equal to -2, then what is y?

Answer 14

1? Im not really sure

Answer 15

or 0

Answer 16

ok so we are looking at the y-value as x approaches 3 from the left

Answer 17

so it will be 1

Answer 18

medal?
