Help me to verify the piecewise function answers

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on verifying answers to exercises involving limits of piecewise functions. The user presented their solutions for three exercises, confirming that limits at specific points are either equal or do not exist based on one-sided limits. The responses validate the user's answers for exercises one and three while noting that the last two problems of exercise two were not addressed. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding one-sided limits in determining the overall limit of a function.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of limits in calculus
  • Knowledge of piecewise functions
  • Familiarity with one-sided limits
  • Basic problem-solving skills in mathematical analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the concept of limits in calculus
  • Study piecewise function definitions and examples
  • Learn about one-sided limits and their implications
  • Practice additional exercises on limits and piecewise functions
USEFUL FOR

Students studying calculus, educators teaching limits, and anyone seeking to improve their understanding of piecewise functions and limit evaluation.

I am trying to solve the exercise in this link, please let me know if i am doing something wrong. ( i didn't find answers to this exercise that's why i am sending it here)

http://www.libraryofmath.com/limits-with-piecewise-functions.html


exercise 1
----------
a) lim x->3- f(x) = 7
b) lim x->3+ f(x) = 7
c) lim x->3 f(x) = 7 because both one-sided limits are same.

exercise 2
----------
a) lim x->0- f(x) = 2
b) lim x->0+ f(x) = 1
c) lim x->0 f(x) = no limit (because one-sided limits are not same)
d) lim x->2- f(x) = 1
e) lim x->2+ f(x) = 3
f) lim x->2 f(x) = no limit (because one-sided limits are not same)

exercise 3
----------
a) lim x->-1- f(x) = 1
b) lim x->-1+ f(x) = 1
c) lim x->-1 f(x) = 1
d) lim x->0- f(x) = 0
e) lim x->0+ f(x) = 0
f) lim x->0 f(x) = 0
g) lim x->1- f(x) = 1
h) lim x->1+ f(x) = 1
i) lim x->1 f(x) = 1

Thanks for your time.

Yes, looks good to me. Congratulations. :wink:

Btw, you haven't done the last 2 problems. :)
