Finding Limits Graphically

Graph the functions in Exercises 9 and 10. Then answer these questions.

f(x) = {x,−1 ≤ x < 0, or 0 < x ≤ 1
1, x = 0
0, x < −1 or x > 1

d. At what points does the right-hand limit exist but not the left-hand limit?

검증된 단계별 안내

First, understand the piecewise function given: f(x) = {x, for −1 ≤ x < 0 or 0 < x ≤ 1; 1, for x = 0; 0, for x < −1 or x > 1}. This function has different expressions depending on the interval of x.

Graph the function by plotting each piece separately. For −1 ≤ x < 0, plot f(x) = x, which is a line segment from (-1, -1) to (0, 0) excluding the endpoint at x = 0. For 0 < x ≤ 1, plot f(x) = x, which is a line segment from (0, 0) to (1, 1) including the endpoint at x = 1.

At x = 0, plot the point (0, 1) since f(x) = 1 when x = 0. This is a discrete point on the graph.

For x < -1 and x > 1, plot f(x) = 0, which are horizontal lines extending to the left of x = -1 and to the right of x = 1.

To determine where the right-hand limit exists but not the left-hand limit, examine the graph at the endpoints of each interval. Specifically, check the behavior of the function as x approaches 0 from the right and from the left. The right-hand limit exists at x = 0, but the left-hand limit does not because the function jumps from 0 to 1.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Limits

In calculus, a limit is the value that a function approaches as the input approaches some value. Limits are essential for defining derivatives and integrals. Understanding limits involves analyzing the behavior of a function as it gets arbitrarily close to a particular point, which can be done graphically or algebraically.

Piecewise Functions

A piecewise function is defined by different expressions for different intervals of the domain. Understanding how to interpret and graph piecewise functions is crucial, as it involves analyzing each segment separately and considering the behavior at the boundaries, which is essential for determining limits and continuity.

One-Sided Limits

One-sided limits refer to the value a function approaches as the input approaches a specific point from one side—either from the left (left-hand limit) or the right (right-hand limit). These are particularly useful for analyzing discontinuities and understanding the behavior of piecewise functions at boundary points.
