Solution

The function described seems to be a piecewise function with different behaviors in different intervals of x. Here's a step-by-step interpretation:

  1. The function starts at y = -1 on the negative y-axis. This means the function has a point at (0, -1).

  2. It then goes up and right in a linear fashion, crossing the x-axis at x = 2. This means there's a straight line from (0, -1) to (2, 0).

  3. At (4, 1), the function sharply changes direction. This means there's another straight line from (2, 0) to (4, 1).

  4. The function then goes down and right in a linear fashion to (6, 0), so there's a straight line from (4, 1) to (6, 0).

  5. The function goes up and right in a linear fashion to (8, 2), so there's a straight line from (6, 0) to (8, 2).

  6. The function then goes horizontally right to (12, 2), so there's a horizontal line from (8, 2) to (12, 2).

  7. At (12, 2), the function sharply changes direction and goes down and right in a linear fashion to (14, 1), so there's a straight line from (12, 2) to (14, 1).

  8. The function then goes up and right in a linear fashion to (16, 3), so there's a straight line from (14, 1) to (16, 3).

So, the function is composed of several line segments connected at the points (0, -1), (2, 0), (4, 1), (6, 0), (8, 2), (12, 2), (14, 1), and (16, 3).

A coordinate plane has a horizontal axis labeled t (s) and a vertical axis labeled vx (m/s). There are five connected line segments.The first goes from (0,-8) to (4,-8); the second from (4,-8) to (6,0); the third from (6,0) to (10,16); the fourth from (10,16) to (13,16); and the fifth from (13,16) to (18,0).

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.
