  1. f has left limit 2 and right limit 5; g has left limit 4 and right limit 1. Both f and g jump at x = 2, as the table shows. Ari combines them. What is the limit of f + g as x → 2?

  2. f has left limit 1 and right limit 3; g has left limit 2 and right limit 2. Both f and g jump at x = 2, as the table shows. Bo combines them. What is the limit of f + g as x → 2?

  3. f has left limit 2 and right limit 4; g has left limit 3 and right limit 1.5. Both f and g jump at x = 2, as the table shows. Esme combines them. What is the limit of f × g as x → 2?

  4. f has left limit 6 and right limit 2; g has left limit 1 and right limit 1. Both f and g jump at x = 2, as the table shows. Jun combines them. What is the limit of f − g as x → 2?

  5. A bike rental charges $3 for each started hour. C(t) is the cost after t hours. Kira checks just before t = 2. In dollars, what is the limit as t → 2⁻?

  6. A locker costs $2 for each started day. C(t) is the cost after t days. Luz checks just before t = 4. In dollars, what is the limit as t → 4⁻?

  7. A paddle boat costs $2 per started half hour. C(t) is the cost after t half hours. Milo checks just before t = 3. In dollars, what is the limit as t → 3⁻?

  8. f(x) = x² + k for x < 2 and f(x) = 3x + 2 for x ≥ 2. Pia picks k so the limit at x = 2 exists. What is k?

  9. f(x) = x² + k for x < 3 and f(x) = -1x + 10 for x ≥ 3. Tala picks k so the limit at x = 3 exists. What is k?

  10. f(x) = x² + k for x < -3 and f(x) = 2x + 11 for x ≥ -3. Zee picks k so the limit at x = -3 exists. What is k?

About this worksheet

Limits from graphs and tables. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can read a limit, and a one-sided limit, from a table or a graph.
  • I can say when a limit does not exist, and why the value at the point does not matter.
  • I can combine one-sided limits and choose a constant so a limit exists.

Standard: none (beyond CCSS)

Words to know

limit: The number f(x) heads to as x gets closer to a.

left-hand limit, x → a⁻: Where f(x) heads as x comes in from below a.

right-hand limit, x → a⁺: Where f(x) heads as x comes in from above a.

open dot: A point the graph leaves out.

does not exist: The two sides head to different numbers, so there is no limit.

Common mistakes

Gave the value of f at the point itself. A limit asks where the values head as x gets close, whatever happens at the point.

Gave the closest number in the table instead of the number the values close in on. Read both sides and ask where they are heading.

Gave the limit from the other side. x → 2⁻ comes from the left (x a bit less than 2); x → 2⁺ from the right.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with limits from graphs and tables?

Gave the value of f at the point itself. A limit asks where the values head as x gets close, whatever happens at the point.
