Question
Consider the functions below.𝑓(𝑥)=𝑥𝑔(𝑥)=15𝑥Which of the following statements describes the graph of function g? A. The graph of g is one-fifth as steep as the graph of f. B. The graph of g is one-fifth of a unit to the left of the graph of f. C. The graph of g is five times steeper than the graph of f. D. The graph of g is one-fifth of a unit to the right of the graph of f.
Solution
The correct answer is C. The graph of g is five times steeper than the graph of f. This is because the coefficient of x in g(x) is 15, which is 5 times larger than the coefficient of x in f(x), which is 1. This means that for every unit increase in x, g(x) increases 5 times as much as f(x), making the graph of g(x) 5 times steeper.

The graph of a function g is shown.The x y-coordinate plane is given. A function labeled y = g(x) with 4 parts is graphed.The first part is a curve, enters the window in the second quadrant, goes up and right becoming less steep, crosses the y-axis at approximately y = 2.5, and ends at the open point (2, 3).The second part is a curve begins again at the open point (2, 1), goes up and right becoming less steep, and ends at the open point (5, 2).The third part is the closed approximate point (5, 1.2).The fourth part is a curve, begins at the open point (5, 2) goes down and right becoming more steep, and exits the window in the first quadrant.Use it to state the values (if they exist) of the following:(a) lim x → 2− g(x)(b) lim x → 2+ g(x)(c) lim x → 2 g(x)(d) lim x → 5− g(x)(e) lim x → 5+ g(x)(f) lim x → 5 g(x)SolutionLooking at the graph we see that the values of g(x) approach as x approaches 2 from the left, but they approach as x approaches 2 from the right.Therefore (a) lim x → 2− g(x) = and (b) lim x → 2+ g(x) = .Since the left and right limits are different, we conclude that (c) the limit as x approaches 2 of g(x) does not exist.The graph also shows that (d) lim x → 5− g(x) = and (e) lim x → 5+ g(x) = .This time, the left and right limits are the same and so, by this theorem, we have (f) lim x → 5 g(x) = Despite this fact, notice that g(5) ≠ 2.
