Question

use the graph of the rational function shown to complete the statement.
as ( x \to 2 ^ { - } ), ( f ( x ) \to? )

• ( - infty )
• -2
• ( + infty )
• 0

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph

When \(x\) approaches \(2\) from the left side (\(x
ightarrow2^{-}\)), observe the trend of the function \(y = f(x)\).

Step2: Determine the limit

Looking at the graph, as \(x\) gets closer and closer to \(2\) from the left, the value of \(y=f(x)\) decreases without bound.

Answer:

\(-\infty\)
