Answer to Problem 3E

  limxf(x)=1 and limxf(x)=2

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The graph of the function f is given.

Calculation :

i)

Let f be a function defined on some interval (a, ) . Then

  limxf(x)=L

Means that the value of f(x) can be made arbitrarily close to L by taking x sufficiently large.

Therefore, from graph it can be observed that:

  limxf(x)=1

ii)

If f be a function defined on some interval (, a) . Then

  limxf(x)=L

Means that the value of f(x) can be made arbitrarily close to L by taking x sufficiently large negative.

Therefore, from graph it can be observed that:

  limxf(x)=2

Hence,

  limxf(x)=1 and limxf(x)=2

b.

To determine

To state : The equation of the horizontal asymptotes.

b.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 3E

The horizontal asymptotes are y=1 and y=2.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The graph of the function f is given.

Calculation :

The line y=L is called the horizontal asymptotes of the curve y=f(x) if either

  limxf(x)=L or limxf(x)=L.

From part (a) limxf(x)=1 and limxf(x)=2.

Therefore, horizontal asymptotes are

  y=1 and y=2.

Hence,

The horizontal asymptotes are y=1 and y=2.
