Thursday, February 6, 2025 through Assgin2.
1. [4 points] Consider the function f whose graph is given in the plot below. (Each of
the following four parts gives you 1 point.)
(a) Which of the following limits lim f (x), lim f (x), lim f (x) and lim f (x) exist?
x→−3 x→−2 x→0 x→1
(b) Which of the following equalities lim f (x) = f (−2), lim f (x) = f (0), lim f (x) =
x→−2 x→0 x→1
f (1) and lim f (x) = f (3) hold?
x→3
(c) Which of the following equalities lim + f (x) = f (−2), lim− f (x) = f (0), lim− f (x) =
x→−2 x→0 x→1
f (1) and lim+ f (x) = f (2) hold?
x→2
(d) Find lim + f (x), lim− f (x), and lim+ f (x).
x→−2 x→2 x→1

You can answer questions (a) − (d) by just stating the result without giving
reasons.
