Limit Conditions 2Bff6A
1. **Problem Statement:**
We need to sketch a function $f(x)$ defined on $\mathbb{R}$ that satisfies the following limit conditions:
- $\lim_{x \to -4} f(x)$ does not exist (DNE).
- $\lim_{x \to -2} f(x) = 0$.
- $\lim_{x \to -1} f(x) = 0$.
- $\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = 2$.
- $\lim_{x \to 1} f(x)$ DNE.
- $\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = -3$.
- $\lim_{x \to 4} f(x) = 5$.
- $\lim_{x \to c} f(x) = 5$ for some $c > 4$ with a hole (removable discontinuity) at $x=c$.
2. **Key Concepts and Rules:**
- A limit DNE means the function behaves differently from left and right or oscillates near that point.
- A limit exists and equals $L$ means the function approaches $L$ from both sides.
- A hole (removable discontinuity) means the limit exists but the function is not defined or defined differently at that point.
- The function should be continuous everywhere except at points where limit DNE or holes occur.
3. **Constructing the Graph:**
- At $x=-4$ and $x=1$, create jump or oscillating discontinuities so limits DNE.
- At $x=-2$ and $x=-1$, the function approaches 0 smoothly.
- At $x=0$, the function approaches 2.
- At $x=2$, the function approaches -3.
- At $x=4$, the function approaches 5.
- At $x=c > 4$, the function has a hole with limit 5 but no defined value or different value.
4. **Explanation:**
- The discontinuities at $x=-4$ and $x=1$ can be jump discontinuities where left and right limits differ.
- The points where limits equal 0 or other values can be continuous or removable discontinuities.
- The hole at $x=c$ is highlighted to show the limit exists but function value is missing or different.
- The function is designed to be continuous elsewhere to satisfy the problem.
This sketch satisfies all given limit conditions and discontinuities as required.
