Question
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.
Solution
The question is asking for the limit values of the function g(x) at certain points, based on the description of the graph.
(a) The limit of g(x) as x approaches 2 from the left (lim x → 2− g(x)) is the y-coordinate of the end point of the first part of the graph, which is 3.
(b) The limit of g(x) as x approaches 2 from the right (lim x → 2+ g(x)) is the y-coordinate of the starting point of the second part of the graph, which is 1.
(c) The limit of g(x) as x approaches 2 (lim x → 2 g(x)) does not exist because the left and right limits at x=2 are not the same.
(d) The limit of g(x) as x approaches 5 from the left (lim x → 5− g(x)) is the y-coordinate of the end point of the second part of the graph, which is 2.
(e) The limit of g(x) as x approaches 5 from the right (lim x → 5+ g(x)) is the y-coordinate of the starting point of the fourth part of the graph, which is also 2.
(f) The limit of g(x) as x approaches 5 (lim x → 5 g(x)) is 2 because the left and right limits at x=5 are the same. However, the function value at x=5 is not 2, it's 1.2.

Graphs of f and g are shown.There are two curves on the x y coordinate plane.A curve labeled f enters the top of second quadrant, goes down and right, crosses the negative x-axis and reaches a minimum in third quadrant, then goes up and right and intersects the origin, and reaches a maximum in first quadrant the same distance away from the x and y axes as its minimum was away from them. It then goes down and right, intersects the positive x-axis the same distance away from the origin as it intersected the negative x-axis, and exits the bottom of fourth quadrant, the same distance away from the x and y axes as was its entry point.A curve labeled g is always above the curve labeled f. g enters the top of second quadrant, goes down and right, reaches a minimum in second quadrant, goes up and right, then reaches a local maximum as it crosses the positive y-axis, and goes down and right.

For the function h whose graph is given, state the value of each quantity, if it exists. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)The x y coordinate plane is given. The curve enters the window at the point (−5, 0), goes up and right to the open point (−3, 4), and goes down and right to the closed point (0, 1). The curve starts again at the open point (0, −1), goes up and right to the open point (2, 2), and then oscillates at an increasing rate between y = 2 and y = 4 until it reaches the x-value of 5. Between the x-values of 4.5 and 5 the oscillations are too close together to distinguish individual curves. At (5, 3) the oscillations stop and the curve goes up and right, changes direction at the approximate point (7, 4.8), goes down and right, and exits the window in the second quadrant.(a)lim x → −3− h(x)(b)lim x → −3+ h(x)(c)lim x → −3 h(x)(d)h(−3)(e)lim x → 0− h(x)(f)lim x → 0+ h(x)(g)lim x → 0 h(x)(h)h(0)(i)lim x → 2 h(x)(j)h(2)(k)lim x → 5+ h(x)(l)lim x → 5− h(x)
