Part 5 of $5 \quad$ My score: $1.75 / 23$ pts (7.61\%)
Use the graph of h in the given figure to find the following values or state that they do not exist.
(a) $h(5)$
(b) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 5} h(x)$
(c) $h(7)$
(d) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 7} h(x)$
(e) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 8} h(x)$
A. $\lim _{x \rightarrow 7} h(x)=4$
(Type an integer or a decimal.)
B. The limit does not exist.
(e) Find $\lim _{x \rightarrow 8} h(x)$. Select the correct choice and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
A. $\lim _{x \rightarrow 8} h(x)=\square$
(Type an integer or a decimal.)
B. The limit does not exist.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Find h(5)
The value of h(5) is the y-value of the function h at x = 5. Looking at the graph, we see an open circle at (5, 6) and a filled circle at (5, 8). The filled circle represents the value of the function. Therefore, h(5) = 8.
Step 2: Find the limit as x approaches 5
The limit of h(x) as x approaches 5 is the y-value that the function approaches as x gets closer to 5 from both the left and the right. As x approaches 5 from the left, h(x) approaches 6. As x approaches 5 from the right, h(x) approaches 6. Since the function approaches the same value from both sides, the limit exists and is equal to 6.
Step 3: Find h(7)
The value of h(7) is the y-value of the function h at x = 7. Looking at the graph, we find an open circle at (7, 4). Therefore, h(7) = 4.
