Step-by-step explanation:
For a left-hand limit, we start at the left side and move right, and see where the function goes as we get close to the x value.
For a right-hand limit, we start at the right side and move left, and see where the function goes as we get close to the x value.
If the two limits are equal, then the limit exists. Otherwise, it doesn't.
1. As we approach x = 2 from the left, f(x) approaches -2.
lim(x→2⁻) f(x) = -2
As we approach x = 2 from the right, f(x) approaches 1.
lim(x→2⁺) f(x) = 1
The limits are not the same, so the limit does not exist.
lim(x→2) f(x) = DNE
2. As we approach x = 2 from the left, f(x) approaches 4.
lim(x→2⁻) f(x) = 4
As we approach x = 2 from the right, f(x) approaches 2.
lim(x→2⁺) f(x) = 2
The limits are not the same, so the limit does not exist.
lim(x→2) f(x) = DNE
3. As we approach x = 2 from the left, f(x) approaches 2.
lim(x→2⁻) f(x) = 2
As we approach x = 2 from the right, f(x) approaches 2.
lim(x→2⁺) f(x) = 2
The limits are equal, so the limit exists.
lim(x→2) f(x) = 2
4. As we approach x = 2 from the left, f(x) approaches 2.
lim(x→2⁻) f(x) = 2
As we approach x = 2 from the right, f(x) approaches infinity.
lim(x→2⁺) f(x) = ∞
The limits are not the same, so the limit does not exist.
lim(x→2) f(x) = DNE
