Limit At 4 2C74A7
1. **State the problem:** We are asked to find the limits of the function $f(x)$ as $x$ approaches 4 from the left and right, the overall limit at $x=4$, and the value of $f(4)$ based on the graph.
2. **Recall limit definitions:**
- The left-hand limit $\lim_{x \to 4^-} f(x)$ is the value $f(x)$ approaches as $x$ approaches 4 from values less than 4.
- The right-hand limit $\lim_{x \to 4^+} f(x)$ is the value $f(x)$ approaches as $x$ approaches 4 from values greater than 4.
- The limit $\lim_{x \to 4} f(x)$ exists only if both left and right limits exist and are equal.
- The function value $f(4)$ is the actual value of the function at $x=4$.
3. **Analyze the graph:**
- From the left side, the curve approaches $y=4$ and there is a hollow circle at $(4,4)$, meaning $f(x)$ approaches 4 but $f(4)$ is not 4 from this side.
- From the right side, the curve jumps to $y=6$ with a filled dot at $(4,6)$, so $f(4)=6$.
4. **Evaluate each limit and value:**
- (a) $\lim_{x \to 4^-} f(x) = 4$
- (b) $\lim_{x \to 4^+} f(x) = 6$
- (c) Since left and right limits are not equal, $\lim_{x \to 4} f(x)$ does not exist.
- (d) $f(4) = 6$ (value at the filled dot)
**Final answers:**
- (a) 4
- (b) 6
- (c) Does Not Exist
- (d) 6
