Since ' x ' and '-x ' are both equal to ' y ', they must be equal to each other.

 x = -x

Add ' x ' to each side: 2x = 0

Divide each side by 2 : x = 0
whence  y = 0 .

That's the only possible solution to the system [ y = x and y = -x ] .

Since x and -x both equal y they must be equal to each other:
x= -x
+x +x (add x to both sides)
2x=0
x=0
when x=0, y=0

Find the indicated limit, if it exists.

Answer:

d) The limit does not exist

General Formulas and Concepts:

Calculus

Limits

Right-Side Limit: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c^+} f(x)$
Left-Side Limit: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c^-} f(x)$

Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} x = c$

Limit Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} [f(x) \pm g(x)] = \lim_{x \to c} f(x) \pm \lim_{x \to c} g(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

*Note:

In order for a limit to exist, the right-side and left-side limits must equal each other.

Step 1: Define

Identify

$\displaystyle f(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}5 - x,\ x < 5\\8,\ x = 5\\x + 3,\ x > 5\end{array}$

Step 2: Find Right-Side Limit

Substitute in function [Limit]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5^+} 5 - x$
Evaluate limit [Limit Rule - Variable Direct Substitution]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5^+} 5 - x = 5 - 5 = 0$

Step 3: Find Left-Side Limit

Substitute in function [Limit]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5^-} x + 3$
Evaluate limit [Limit Rule - Variable Direct Substitution]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to 5^+} x + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8$
