Suppose that f is an odd function of x. Does knowing that modifyingbelow lim with x right arrow 0 superscript plus f left parenthesis x right parenthesisequals3 tell you anything about modifyingbelow lim with x right arrow 0 superscript minus f left parenthesis x right parenthesis​? Give reasons for your answer.

Respuesta :

Given f is an odd function that is f(-x) =-f(x).

And [tex]Lim_{x->0+}  f(x) = 3[/tex]

[tex]Lim_{x->0-} f(x) =?[/tex]

Let x=-a

As x->0- , a->0+

So, [tex]Lim_{x->0-}  f(x) = Lim_{a->0+} f(-a)[/tex]

                         = [tex]Lim_{a->0+} (-f(a))[/tex]   (Since f(-a)=-f(a) for odd function)

                         = [tex]-Lim_{a->0+} f(a) = -3[/tex]

Hence [tex]Lim_{x->0-} f(x) = -3[/tex]

Answer: we should have that:

[tex]\lim_{x \to \--0} f(x) = -3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that f(x) is an odd function, this means that f(-x) = -f(x)

We know that:

[tex]\lim_{x \to \++0} f(x) = 3[/tex]

this means that wen we aproximate to zero for the right (the positive side) we have that the value is.

First, this tell us that f(x) can not be a continue function, because of the fact that is odd we will have that when we aproximate the same lim but from the negative side, we will have that:

[tex]\lim_{x \to \--0} f(x) = -3[/tex]
