Use the given graph to determine the limit, if it exists. Find limit as x approaches two from the left of f of x. and limit as x approaches two from the right of f of x..

Something really important to note: \[\lim_{x^{+} \rightarrow n} = \lim_{x^{-} \rightarrow n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\lim _ {x \rightarrow 2^{-}} \lim_{x \rightarrow 2^{+}}\]

OpenStudy (greatlife44):

the limit as x approaches a number from the left must be equal to the limit as x approaches the number from the right

OpenStudy (greatlife44):

The limit doesn't exist because as x approaches the number from the left and right you see that there are two different values. at 2. but another thing: the function isn't defined at 2 either because of that circular hole. that's called a discontinuity

Nnesha (nnesha):

I think the function is defined at 2. but not equal to lim as x->2^{-,+}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are my options.. 1; 1 3 ; -3 does not exist ; does not exist -3, 3

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1457383594404:dw| they want to know the lim as x-> from left and right if the \[\lim_{x \rightarrow 2^{-}} \cancel{= }\lim_{x \rightarrow 2^{+}}\] then the full lim as x-> (2) doesn't exists but the limt from right and left exist

OpenStudy (greatlife44):

as @Nnesha said, I think we can agree that the limit does not exist.

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes but the full limit does not exist lim from right and left DOES exist

OpenStudy (greatlife44):

not arguing there

OpenStudy (greatlife44):

i noticed that there are three different values for x at 2 so that was why i thought it was not a function

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\large\rm \lim_{x \rightarrow 2^{-}}\]\ they are looknig for y value when x approch 2 from left |dw:1457385475640:dw|
