Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Determine the limit of f(x) as x approaches 2.**
**Graph Explanation:**
The graph depicts a function \( f(x) \). Here are the key features:
- The function displays a curve that increases from the left up to \( x = 2 \).
- There is an open circle on the graph at the point \( (2, 1) \), indicating that the function approaches this point but does not include it.
- Beyond \( x = 2 \), the graph indicates a jump to a solid point at \( (2, 3) \), but this part of the graph does not impact the limit as \( x \) approaches 2 from either direction.
**Options:**
- ○ 0.3
- ○ 1
- ○ DNE (Does Not Exist)
- ○ 2
- ○ Other: ________
Here we aim to determine the limit as \( x \) approaches 2 from both sides of the graph. The open circle at \( (2, 1) \) suggests that the value the function approaches, but never quite reaches at this \( x \)-value, is 1. Therefore, the limit of \( f(x) \) as \( x \) approaches 2 is 1.
