The graph of a function g is shown in the figure. Use it to state the values (if they
EXAMPLE 7
exist) of the following:
lim g(x)
(b)
x 2+
lim g(x)
(c) im g(x)
X » 2
(a)
X »2-
3
lim g(x)
lim g(x)
(f) m_g(x).
X »5
(d)
(e)
2
SOLUTION
From the graph we see that the values of g(x) approach
Xas x
1
approaches 2 from the left, but they approach 1
as x approaches 2 from the right.
-2

Therefore
Video Example
(b) m g(x) =
x 2+
(a) m g(x)
and
1
=
(c) Since the left and right limits are different, we conclude that the limit as x approaches 2 of
g(x) does not exist.
The graph also shows that
(e) m g(x) =
(d) m g(x)
and
X
x » 5+
x » 5-
(f) This time, the left and right limits are the same and so, by this theorem, we have
lim g(x)
