Question
Evaluate `lim_(x -> 0) f(x)` where `f(x) = { (|x|/x, x != 0),(0, x = 0):}`
Solution
If x < 0, |x| = −x
∴ `lim_("x" → 0^-) f("x") = lim_("x" → 0^-) |"x"|/"x" = lim_("x" → 0^-)( (-"x")/"x") = -1`
And if x > 0, |x| = x
∴ `lim_("x" → 0^+) f("x") = lim_("x" → 0^+) |"x"|/"x" = lim_("x" → 0^+) ( "x"/"x") = 1`
∴ `lim_("x" → 0^-) f("x") ≠ lim_("x" → 0^+) f("x")`
Hence, the equation does not exist at x = 0.
