Identify Function & Point: Identify the function and the point at which we need to find the limit.We have the function f(x)=51−2x and we need to find the limit as x approaches 1.
Substitute Value & Check: Substitute the value of x into the function to see if the function is defined at that point.Let's substitute x=1 into the function: f(1)=51−2×1=49.
Calculate Substitution Result: Calculate the value obtained after substitution. 49=7, so f(1)=7.
Check Direct Substitution: Determine if we can use direct substitution to find the limit. Since the function is defined at x=1 and we obtained a real number after substitution, we can use direct substitution to find the limit.
Conclude Limit: Conclude the limit based on the calculations.The limit of f(x) as x approaches 1 is equal to the value of the function at x=1, which is 7.
