Q. Let f(x)=x3.Select the correct description of the one-sided limits of f at x=0.Choose 1 answer:(A) limx→0+f(x)=+∞ and limx→0−f(x)=+∞(B) limx→0+f(x)=+∞ and limx→0−f(x)=−∞(C) limx→0+f(x)=−∞ and limx→0−f(x)=+∞(D) limx→0+f(x)=−∞ and limx→0−f(x)=−∞
Evaluate positive limit: Evaluate the one-sided limit of f(x)=x3 as x approaches 0 from the positive side (x→0+).As x approaches 0 from the positive side, the value of x1 becomes very large because we are dividing a constant by a very small positive number. Therefore, the limit is positive infinity.limx→0+f(x)=limx→0+(x3)=+∞
Evaluate negative limit: Evaluate the one-sided limit of f(x)=x3 as x approaches 0 from the negative side (x→0−).As x approaches 0 from the negative side, the value of x1 becomes very large in the negative direction because we are dividing a constant by a very small negative number. Therefore, the limit is negative infinity.limx→0−f(x)=limx→0−(x3)=−∞
Combine results: Combine the results from the previous steps to select the correct description of the one-sided limits of f at x=0. From step 2, we have limx→0+f(x)=+∞. From step 3, we have limx→0−f(x)=−∞. Therefore, the correct answer is (B) limx→0+f(x)=+∞ and limx→0−f(x)=−∞.
