One Sided Limits: Based On The Graph Determine
One Sided Limits: Based On The Graph Determine
We can take a look at limits from both sides of a value to see what happens:
• lim+ f ( x) is called _____________________ or __________________________
x →a
or ________________________
State if the following limits exist. Give the value if they do.
Jump Discontinuity (or “Break”) lim f ( x) lim+ f ( x) , Therefore lim f ( x) does not exist
x →a − x →a x →a
Example:
x+3 , x (− ,0
Given the function f ( x ) = − x + 2 , x ( 0,2)
( x − 2) 2 , x 2 , )
a) Graph y = f ( x)
i) lim f ( x )
x →0
ii) lim f ( x)
x →2
