Question

Use the given graph to determine the limit, if it exists. (4 points)

A coordinate graph is shown with a downward sloped line crossing the y axis at the origin that ends at the open point 3, -1, a closed point at 3, 7, and a horizontal line starting at the open point 3, -4.
Find limit as x approaches three from the left of f of x. .

plz helppppp

Answer 1

The limit is -1 (the y-coordinate of the point (3, -1)).

"From the left" means you think about values of x that are LESS than 3. Move along the graph from left-to-right. As you get closer to 3 (approaching from the left), the values of y get smaller and smaller, getting closer and closer to -1.

The fact that the value of y does not actually reach -1 is not important. The LIMIT is -1.
