The limit does not exist. Why? Because the left hand limit DOES NOT equal the right hand limit. Let’s double check:
We could use -0.000001 to represent the left hand limit. This is less than 0. We plug in 5x - 8
5(-0.000001) - 8
-0.000005 - 8
-8.000005
If we would continue the limit (extend the zeros to infinity), we would get exactly
-8
That is our left hand limit.
Our right hand limit will be represented by 0.000001. This is greater than 0. We plug in abs(-4 - x)
abs(-4 - (0.000001))
abs(-4.000001)
4.000001
If we would continue the limit (extend the zeros to infinity), we would get exactly
4
4 does not equal -8, therefore
The limit does not exist
1 gallon is 8 pints....so 1/2 gallon = 4 pints
she fills a 1 pt thermos with milk each day......how many times will she be able to fill her thermos with 1/2 gallon (or 4 pints) of milk ?
if she fills a 1 pint thermos each day....and she has 4 pints of milk, then she will be able to fill her thermos 4 times <===
