Limits Table Sketch Fdc5C2
1. **Problem Statement:**
Fill in the table with the appropriate values of $\lim_{x \to c} f(x)$ and $f(c)$ based on the given graph.
2. **Understanding Limits and Function Values:**
- The limit $\lim_{x \to c} f(x)$ is the value that $f(x)$ approaches as $x$ gets closer to $c$ from both sides.
- The function value $f(c)$ is the actual value of the function at $x=c$.
- Sometimes, the limit and the function value can be different if there is a jump or removable discontinuity.
3. **Filling the Table:**
- For $c=-4$, given: $\lim_{x \to -4} f(x) = 5$, $f(-4) = 3$.
- For $c=-2$: From the graph, as $x$ approaches $-2$, $f(x)$ approaches $-3$ from both sides, so $\lim_{x \to -2} f(x) = -3$. The function value $f(-2)$ is at the filled blue dot at $-2$, which is $-3$.
- For $c=4$: The limit as $x$ approaches $4$ is $2$ (the curve approaches $2$ from both sides). The function value $f(4)$ is $2$.
- For $c=8$: The limit as $x$ approaches $8$ is $1$ (the curve approaches $1$ from both sides). The function value $f(8)$ is $1$.
- For $c=10$: The limit as $x$ approaches $10$ is $2$ (the curve approaches $2$). The function value $f(10)$ is $2$.
4. **Summary Table:**
| c | $\lim_{x \to c} f(x)$ | $f(c)$ |
|----|------------------------|--------|
| -4 | 5 | 3 |
| -2 | -3 | -3 |
| 4 | 2 | 2 |
| 8 | 1 | 1 |
| 10 | 2 | 2 |
5. **Second Problem: Sketch graphs for given limit and function value conditions at $x=3$:**
**a.** $\lim_{x \to 3} f(x)$ does not exist (DNE) and $f(3) = -2$.
- This means the left and right limits at $3$ are different or oscillate.
- The function value at $3$ is $-2$.
**b.** $\lim_{x \to 3} g(x) = 2$ and $g(-3)$ is undefined.
- The limit at $3$ is $2$.
- The function is not defined at $-3$ (a hole or no point).
**c.** $\lim_{x \to 3} h(x)$ does not exist and $h(3) = -2$.
- Same as (a), limit does not exist at $3$ but function value is $-2$.
6. **Graph Descriptions:**
- For (a) and (c), the graph near $x=3$ has a jump or oscillation causing the limit to not exist, but a filled dot at $(3,-2)$.
- For (b), the graph approaches $2$ near $x=3$, and at $x=-3$ there is no point (hole).
7. **Desmos LaTeX for the original function $f(x)$ (approximate):**
$$f(x) = \begin{cases}
\text{piecewise curve as described, no explicit formula}
\end{cases}$$
**For sketches:**
- (a) and (c): Use a piecewise function with different left and right limits at $3$ and $f(3)=-2$.
- (b): Use a continuous function approaching $2$ at $3$ and undefined at $-3$.
Final answers:
Table:
$c$ | $\lim_{x \to c} f(x)$ | $f(c)$
-4 | 5 | 3
-2 | -3 | -3

8 | 1 | 1
10 | 2 | 2
Sketches:
(a) $\lim_{x \to 3} f(x)$ DNE, $f(3)=-2$
(b) $\lim_{x \to 3} g(x)=2$, $g(-3)$ undefined
(c) $\lim_{x \to 3} h(x)$ DNE, $h(3)=-2$
