Understanding Limits in Composite Functions

The video tutorial explores the concept of limits involving two functions, g(x) and h(x). It begins by introducing the problem of finding the limit of g(h(x)) as x approaches 1. The tutorial then calculates the limit of h(x) and discusses the challenges in determining the limit of g(h(x)). By analyzing both left-handed and right-handed limits, it concludes that the limit of g(h(x)) is -2, despite the limit of g(x) at 2 not existing.

What is the main objective of the problem discussed in the video?

• To solve for x in the equation g(h(x)) = 0

• To determine the limit of g(h(x)) as x approaches 1

• To find the derivative of g(h(x))

• To graph the functions g(x) and h(x)

• 0

• 1

• 2

• Negative infinity

What is the value of g(2) according to the video?

• 1

• 2

• -2

• 0

Why does the limit of g(x) at x=2 seem undefined?

• Because h(x) is not defined at x=2

• Because g(x) approaches different values from the left and right

• Because g(x) is a constant function

• Because g(x) is not continuous at x=2

What does the left-handed limit of g(h(x)) approach as x approaches 1?

• 0

• -2

• 2

• 1

When approaching 1 from the left, what is h(x) approaching?

• 1 from below

• 2 from above

• 2 from below

• 1 from above

What is the right-handed limit of g(h(x)) as x approaches 1?

• 1

• 2

• 0

• -2

What is the significance of both left-handed and right-handed limits being equal?

• The function has a vertical asymptote

• The function is continuous

• The overall limit exists and is equal to that value

• The function is differentiable

What is the final conclusion about the limit of g(h(x)) as x approaches 1?

• The limit is 0

• The limit is 2

• The limit is -2

• The limit does not exist

Why is this case considered interesting in terms of limits?

• Because h(x) is a constant function

• Because g(x) is a linear function

• Because the limit of h(x) is undefined

• Because the limit of g(x) at x=2 does not exist, but g(h(x)) has a limit
