the computer loses 50%, percent of its value each year. (Answer)
Problem 1
With limits, you are looking to see what happens when x gets closer to some value. For example, as x gets closer to x = 2 (from the left and right side), then y is getting closer and closer to y = 1/2. Therefore the limiting value is 1/2
Another example: as x gets closer to x = 4 from the right hand side, the y value gets closer to y = 4. This y value is different if you approach x = 0 from the left side (y would approach y = 1/2)
Use examples like this and you'll get the results you see in "figure 1"
For any function values, you'll look for actual points on the graph. A point does not exist if there is an open circle. There is an open circle at x = 2 for instance, so that's why f(2) = UND. On the other hand, f(0) is defined and it is equal to 4 as the point (0,4) is on the function curve.

Problem 2
This is basically an extension of problem 1. The same idea applies. See "figure 2" (in the attached images) for the answers.
Answer:
Yes, they are equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
-3.0 + 0.8 = -2.2

Since, population of species A is represented by : 
Let us find the population of species A, at the end of week 1:
i.e., x = 1
i.e., 
i.e., 
i.e., 
Also, since population of species B is represented by : 
Let us find the population of species B, at the end of week 1:
i.e., x = 1
i.e., 
i.e., 
i.e., 
Thus, at the end of 1 week, species A and species B will have the same population.
Hence, option D is correct.
