Here, we're given the graph of a function, and we're asked to compute some details, mostly limits.
00:06
So for the first question here, we're asked for the limit as x approaches negative 1 from the left.
00:12
So to do a one -sided limit, we're just going to find the x value that's here of negative 1.
00:17
And we go to the left.
00:18
You find your graph, and then go infinitely close to x equals negative 1 by following the graph.
00:25
So as i get infinitely close, i get to 0.
00:29
Notice i can never actually reach zero, but i can get infinitely close to it, and that's what a limit is.
00:35
Now, if i go for number two, that's the limit from the right.
00:41
Well, i'm going to do the same thing, go to negative one, go to the right, find my graph, and then follow until i get infinitely close to zero, or to negative one, and again, i'm going to get to zero.
00:52
And what that means is for number three, the overall limit, there's no left or right.
00:57
Well, that's going to be zero.
00:59
The only way the limit can exist if both left and right are the same.
01:03
And in this case, they are.
01:04
They're both zero.
01:07
So now if i look at number four, that says what is f of negative 1? that says, don't worry about what happens around the function.
01:14
I only care about exactly at negative 1...
