The tables show that as x approaches −1, f (x) approaches _____.

Thus, lim ( x +1 )=¿ ¿ (Round-off to the nearest whole number)

x→−1

Graph the given function: f ( x )=x 2 +1

When x=−1, the graph of the function approaches the y at value = _____. Hence, their
coordinates is (__,__).

The tables show that as x approaches 0 , |x| approaches _____.

Thus, lim |x|=¿ ¿ (Round-off to the nearest whole number)

x →0

Graph the given function: f ( x )=| x|

When x=0 , the graph of the function approaches the y at value = _____. Hence, their
coordinates is (__,__).

When x=1, the graph of the function approaches the y at value = _____. Hence, their
coordinates is (__,__).

5. lim

( x−4 )2 +3 if x ≥ 4

When x approaches 4 from the left, the values taken should be substituted in f ( x)= x+1

The table show that as x approaches 4 , f ( x ) approaches _____. (Round-off to the nearest
whole number)

When x approaches 4 from the right, the values taken should be substituted in ( x−4 )2 +3

Graph the given function: f ( x )= { x +1 if x< 4

( x−4 )2 +3 if x ≥ 4
When x <4 , the graph of f ( x )=x +1 approaches but never touches the y – value = _____.
Hence, their coordinates is (__,__).
Meanwhile, when x=4, the graph of f ( x )=( x−4 )2+3 approaches the y at value = _____.
Thus, their coordinates is (4,__).
