Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying the values of c for which the function f(x) exists, based on a provided graph. The subject area pertains to limits and continuity in the context of functions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants express uncertainty about how to begin the problem and question the relationship between c and f(x). There is a suggestion to clarify the exact wording of the problem and whether continuity or limits are relevant to the discussion.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarification on the problem's requirements and exploring the implications of the graph. Some guidance has been offered regarding the need to consider points of discontinuity if continuity is indeed the focus.

Contextual Notes

There is mention of a graph that may illustrate the function, but the specific details of the problem statement and the role of limits remain unclear. Participants are also questioning the necessity of limits in the context of the problem.

bump please help :(
 
Can you write down f(x)? How does c come into it?
 
What's the exact wording of the problem? You titled this thread "Homework help limits" but as you have stated the problem, I don't see that limits enter into things. From the graph, f(x) appears to be defined for all x such that -5 <= x <= 5.

If the question is asking about continuity, of which you give no indication, then you need to look at limits a the three points of discontinuity.
