Evaluating a Two-Sided Limit Using the Limit Laws

look at one-sided limits of a piecewise-defined function and use these limits to draw a conclusion about a two-sided limit of the same function.

[T] In the following exercises, use a calculator to draw the graph of each piecewise-defined function and study the graph to evaluate the given limits.

f(x) = (x^2, x  ≤ 3

          (x + 4, > 3

(a) lim f(x) 

       x - > 3 -

(b) lim f(x) 

    x - > 3 +
