Question

If f(2) = 4, can you conclude anything about the limit of f(x) as x approaches 2?

Solution

No, f(x) = 4, It is the value of the function at x = 2

This limit doesn’t exists at x = 2

Since f(2) = 4

It need not imply that `lim_(x -> 2^-) f(x) = lim_(x -> 2^+) f(x)`

∴ We cannot conclude at x = 2
