Question

Using the graph of f(x) below, find limit f(x) as x->1

Answer 1

For limits...
think of it like a ..... roller coaster maybe :)

You're riding along those crazy curves,
you want to see how close you can get to the "location" without actually touching it,
and look at the corresponding y-value.

Answer 2

Let's approach 1 from the left side and see what's happening.

Answer 3

So what is our line approaching?

Answer 4

-1?

Answer 5

Good!
\[\Large\rm \lim_{x\to1^-}f(x)=-1\]
