Question 1139238: Find the indicated limit, if it exists. (2 points)
limit of f of x as x approaches negative 8 where f of x equals x plus 9 when x is less than negative 8 and f of x equals negative seven minus x when x is greater than or equal to negative 8

-8

1

17

The limit does not exist.

The limit as x approaches -8 from the left (x<-8) is -8+9 = 1; the limit when x approaches -8 from the right (x>=-8) is -7-(-8) = -7+8 = 1.

Since the limits from the two directions are the same value 1, that is the limit of the function as x approaches -8.
