- A graph of the function f is given below: Study the graph of ƒ at the value given below. Select each of the following that applies for the value a = 1 Of is defined at a. If is not defined at x = a. Of is continuous at x = a. If is discontinuous at x = a. Of is smooth at x = a. Of is not smooth at = a. If has a horizontal tangent line at = a. f has a vertical tangent line at x = a. Of has a oblique/slanted tangent line at x = a.

(A) Find the following. If a function value is undefined, enter "undefined". If a limit does not exist, enter "DNE". If a limit can be represented by -∞o or ∞o, then do so. lim f(z) +3 lim f(z) 1-1 lim f(z) f(1) = 2 = -4 = undefined lim f(z) 1 2-1 lim f(z): 2-1+ lim f(x) 2+1 -00 = -2 = DNE f(-1) = -2 lim f(z) = -2 1-4 lim f(z) 2-4° 00 f'(0) f'(2) = = (B) List the value(s) of x for which f(x) is discontinuous. Then list the value(s) of x for which f(x) is left- continuous or right-continuous. Enter your answer as a comma-separated list, if needed (eg. -2, 3, 5). If there are none, enter "none". Discontinuous at z = Left-continuous at x = Invalid use of a comma.syntax incomplete. Right-continuous at z = Invalid use of a comma.syntax incomplete. (C) List the value(s) of x for which f(x) is non-differentiable. Enter your answer as a comma-separated list, if needed (eg. -2, 3, 5).…arrow_forwardA graph of the function f is given below: Study the graph of f at the value given below.
