Limits
When it comes to calculus, limits are considered to be a very important topic of discussion. The main importance of limit lies in expressing the value of a function as it gets closer to a certain value. Also, limits can help you to understand other topic…

Answer to Problem 29RE

The right-hand and left-hand limits both at x=−1 is 1, at x=0 is 0. The right-hand limit at x=1 is 1 and left-hand limit is −1 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given function is f(x)={1, x≤−1−x, −1<x<01, x=0−x, 0<x<11, x≥1 .

Calculation:

The left-hand limit at x=−1 is:

  limx→−1−f(x)=limx→−1−(1)=1

The right-hand limit at x=−1 is:

  limx→−1+f(x)=limx→−1+(−x)=−(−1)=1

The left-hand limit at x=0 is:

  limx→0−f(x)=limx→0−(−x)=0

The right-hand limit at x=0 is:

  limx→0+f(x)=limx→0+(−x)=0

The left-hand limit at x=1 is:

  limx→1−f(x)=limx→1−(−x)=−1

The right-hand limit at x=1 is:

  limx→1+f(x)=limx→1+(1)=1

Therefore, the right-hand and left-hand limits both at x=−1 is 1, at x=0 is 0. The right-hand limit at x=1 is 1 and left-hand limit is −1 .

Answer to Problem 29RE

The limit at x=−1 is 1, the limit at x=0 is 0 and the limit at x=1 does not exist as left-hand limit is not equal to the right-hand limit.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given function is f(x)={1, x≤−1−x, −1<x<01, x=0−x, 0<x<11, x≥1 .

Calculation:

From part (a), observed the limits of the function at x=−1 , x=0 and x=1 .

At x=−1 , the right-hand limit of the function is equal to the left-hand limit. So, the limit exists at this point.

  limx→−1f(x)=1

At x=0 , the right-hand limit of the function is equal to the left-hand limit. So, the limit exists at this point.

  limx→0f(x)=0

At x=1 , the right-hand limit of the function is not equal to the left-hand limit of the function. So, the limit does not exist at this point.

Therefore, the limit at x=−1 is 1, the limit at x=0 is 0 and the limit at x=1 does not exist as left-hand limit is not equal to the right-hand limit.

(c)

To determine

To find: The given function is continuous at points x=−1 , x=0 and x=1 .

(c)

Answer to Problem 29RE

The function is continuous at x=−1 as the value of the function and limit is equal.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given function is f(x)={1, x≤−1−x, −1<x<01, x=0−x, 0<x<11, x≥1 .

Calculation:

If the limit of a function is equal to the value of the function at that point, then the function is said to be continuous.

The limit at x=−1 is 1. The value of the function at x=−1 is,

  f(−1)=1

So, the function is continuous at x=−1 .

The limit at x=0 is 0. The value of the function at x=0 is,

  f(0)=1

So, the function is discontinuous at x=0 .

The limit does not exist at x=1 . So, function is discontinuous.

Therefore, the function is continuous at x=−1 as the value of the function and limit is equal.
