Transcript text: Classify the statement as either true or false.
\[
\lim _{x \rightarrow 5} 9=9
\]
Choose the correct answer below.
false
true
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the Limit Statement
The statement is:
\[
\lim _{x \rightarrow 5} 9 = 9
\]
This means we are evaluating the limit of the constant function \( f(x) = 9 \) as \( x \) approaches 5.
Step 2: Evaluate the Limit of a Constant Function
For any constant function \( f(x) = c \), the limit as \( x \) approaches any value \( a \) is always \( c \). This is because the value of the function does not change regardless of the value of \( x \).
Step 3: Apply the Rule to the Given Statement
Since \( f(x) = 9 \) is a constant function, the limit as \( x \) approaches 5 is:
\[
\lim _{x \rightarrow 5} 9 = 9
\]
Final Answer
The statement is true. Therefore, the correct answer is:
\[
\boxed{\text{true}}
\]
