Chapter 2.5, Problem 4E, For the function g whose graph is given, state the following. (a) limxg(x) (b) limxg(x) (c)

(a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

To find: The value of limx→∞g(x).

Answer to Problem 4E

The value of limx→∞g(x)=2.

Explanation of Solution

From the given graph, it is observed that the curve approaches 2 as x approaches infinity from either side.

That is, limx→∞g(x)=2.

(b)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

To find: The value of limx→−∞g(x).

Answer to Problem 4E

Answers:

The value of limx→−∞g(x)=−1.

Explanation of Solution

From the given graph, it is observed that the curve approaches −1 as x approaches negative infinity from either side.

Therefore, limx→−∞g(x)=−1.

(c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

To find: The value of limx→0g(x).

Answer to Problem 4E

The value of limx→0g(x)=−∞.

Explanation of Solution

From the given graph, it is observed that the curve approaches −∞ as x approaches 0 from either side.

Therefore, limx→0g(x)=−∞.

(d)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

To find: The value of limx→2−g(x).

Answer to Problem 4E

The value of limx→2−g(x)=−∞.

Explanation of Solution

From the given graph, it is observed that the curve approaches −∞ as x approaches 2 from the left side.

That is, limx→2−g(x)=−∞.

(e)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

To find: The value of limx→2+g(x).

Answer to Problem 4E

The value of limx→2+g(x)=∞.

Explanation of Solution

From the given graph, it is observed that the curve approaches ∞ as x approaches 2 from the right side.

That is, limx→2+g(x)=∞.

(f)

Expert Solution
Check Mark
To determine

To find: The equations of the asymptotes

Answer to Problem 4E

The equations of the asymptotes are x=0,x=2,y=−1 and y=2.

Explanation of Solution

Recall the definition that the line x=a is said to be a vertical asymptote of the function f(x), if either limx→a−f(x)=±∞ or limx→a+f(x)=±∞.

Recall the definition that the line x=a is said to be a horizontal asymptote of the function f(x), if either limx→±∞f(x)=−a or limx→±f(x)=a.

The limits obtained from part (a)-(e), it can be concluded that the equations of asymptote are x=0,x=2,y=−1 and y=2.
