Let $f(x)=\frac{|x|}{x},$ for $x \neq 0$ a. Sketch a graph of $f$ on the interval [-2,2] b. Does $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)$ exist? Explain your reasoning after first examining $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)$ and $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)$
Limits
Definitions of Limits
Use a graphing utility to graph the function. From the graph, estimate $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x) \quad$ and $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)$ Is the function continuous on the entire real line? Explain. $$ f(x)=\frac{\left|x^{2}-4\right| x}{x+2} $$
