heey, i know how to find limits but i can't find limits from the left and from the right
can someone pleasezzzz show me the simplist way to do it
thx

A one-sided limit is a mathematical concept that describes the behavior of a function as it approaches a specific value from either the left or the right side of that value. It is used to determine the value that a function is approaching at a particular point, even if the function itself is undefined at that point.
A regular limit, also known as a two-sided limit, considers the behavior of a function as it approaches a value from both the left and right sides. A one-sided limit, on the other hand, only considers the behavior of a function from either the left or right side. This is because the function may behave differently depending on which side it is approaching from.
The simplest way to find a one-sided limit is to use the direct substitution method. This involves plugging in the value that the function is approaching into the function itself. If the resulting value is a finite number, then that is the one-sided limit. If the resulting value is undefined or infinite, then the one-sided limit does not exist.
Yes, it is possible for a function to have different one-sided limits at the same point. This can occur when the function approaches the point from different directions and behaves differently on each side. In this case, the overall limit of the function at that point does not exist.
One-sided limits are commonly used in physics and engineering to model real-world situations. For example, a car's speed as it approaches a stop sign can be represented by a one-sided limit, as the car cannot travel backwards. They are also used in economics, finance, and statistics to analyze trends and make predictions based on past data.
