Understanding Limits in Calculus

The video tutorial explores the concept of limits in calculus, focusing on evaluating the truth of various statements about the limits of a function f(x) as x approaches specific values. It examines limits from both positive and negative directions at x=1 and x=0, discusses the existence of these limits, and concludes with an analysis of the limit at x=1.5, highlighting the continuity of the function at this point.

What happens to f(x) as x approaches 0 from the negative direction?

• It approaches 2

• It approaches 1

• It does not exist

• It approaches 0

Why does the limit of f(x) as x approaches 1 not exist?

• The function is undefined at x = 1

• The limits from both directions are different

• The function is continuous at x = 1

• The limit is infinite

What is the significance of the limit from the right-hand side being different from the left-hand side?

• The function is undefined

• The function is continuous

• The limit does not exist

• The limit exists

What is the limit of f(x) as x approaches 1.5?

• Does not exist

• 0

• 1

• 2

Why is the limit of f(x) as x approaches 1.5 equal to 1?

• The limit is infinite

• The function is continuous at this point

• The function is undefined at this point

• The function is discontinuous at this point
