![In a particular city, taxicabs charge passengers $3.80 for entering a cab and
$0.50 for each one-fifth of a mile (or fraction thereof) traveled. If x represents the
distance traveled in miles, then C(x) is the cost of the taxi fare, where C(x) = $3.80 if
x=0, C(x) = $4.30 if 0<x≤0.2, and so on. The graph of C is shown to the right. Use
the graph to find each of the following limits, if it exists.
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete
your choice.
