Limits how to do number 24?

OpenStudy (matlee):

OpenStudy (matlee):

I hear the answer is 7

OpenStudy (matlee):

But how do you even start it

OpenStudy (freckles):

you want to evaluate f(3)?

OpenStudy (matlee):

yes

OpenStudy (freckles):

3 is between 2 and 4 so you use x^2-2

OpenStudy (matlee):

Is that how you do it wow.

OpenStudy (matlee):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (freckles):

yep but you have to plug in 3 into x^2-2

OpenStudy (matlee):

Wait can you help me once more!

OpenStudy (matlee):

Same kind of question

OpenStudy (freckles):

yes

OpenStudy (matlee):

nvm they all seem pretty easy, its all the same right?

OpenStudy (matlee):

What if the number is not in the peace wise function?

OpenStudy (freckles):

yes if the question is to evaluate f(a) where a is some number yes

OpenStudy (freckles):

oh the only x value your function is not defined at is x=2

OpenStudy (freckles):

so if is any number besides x=2 then you are good

OpenStudy (matlee):

so 17,18 ,19?

OpenStudy (freckles):

I know it isn't defined at x=2 because none of the inequalities include x=2

OpenStudy (freckles):

those are limit questions

OpenStudy (freckles):

we don't care what happens at x=2 there just near x=2

OpenStudy (matlee):

oh

OpenStudy (matlee):

wait i jsut noticed something what are these

OpenStudy (freckles):

what are these?

OpenStudy (freckles):

are you talking about the right limits and left limits?

OpenStudy (matlee):

OpenStudy (matlee):

i cant even read those

OpenStudy (matlee):

i think that is a positive sign or maybe negative

OpenStudy (freckles):

let's do an example

OpenStudy (matlee):

Ok

OpenStudy (freckles):

I will do 17 and 18 and 19 and leave the rest to you (Well we will do them together) (I'm going to draw a little figure to for kicks)

OpenStudy (matlee):

Ok thanks!

OpenStudy (matlee):

Sounds good
