Estimating Limit Values from Graphs

AP Calculus AB· difficulty 2/5

open f(2) x = 2

From the graph, limx2f(x)\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 2} f(x) exists because the left and right limits agree (open circle), even though f(2)f(2) (filled circle) is different. The function is

  • A

    Discontinuous at x=2x = 2 — infinite

  • B

    Discontinuous at x=2x = 2 — removable

    check_circle
  • C

    Discontinuous at x=2x = 2 — jump

  • D

    Continuous at x=2x = 2

Explanation

The limit exists but does not equal f(2)f(2). Redefining f(2)f(2) to the common value of the limits would make ff continuous — that's a <strong>removable</strong> discontinuity.
