limit and absolute absolute value problem












5












$begingroup$


$$lim_{x to -2} frac{2-|x|}{2+x}$$



If I calculate the left and right-hand limit I get different results.



Left hand side:
$$lim_{x to -2^-}frac{2+x}{2+x}=1$$



Right hand side: $$lim_{x to -2^+} frac{2-x}{2+x}=text{undefined}$$



My question is that my procedure is right or wrong?

    Note that the modulus function is not continuous at $0$, but it is around a neighborhood of $-2$, hence you could compute the limit simply assuming $|x|=-x$.

Since $x to -2$, we can assume that $x < 0$ so that $|x| = -x$.



Then $$frac{2-|x|}{2+x} = frac{2+x}{2+x} = 1 xrightarrow{x to -2} 1$$
so the limit exists and it is equal to $1$.

    $begingroup$

    When $x$ is near $-2$ approaching it from the left, $2+x$ is equivalent to $2-|x|$ (if $x<0$, then $x=-|x|$):



    $$
    lim_{xto-2^-}frac{2-|x|}{2+x}=lim_{xto-2^-}frac{2-|x|}{2-|x|}=lim_{xto-2^-}1=1.
    $$



    When $x$ is near $-2$ approaching it from the right, $2+x$ also seems to be equivalent to $2-|x|$:



    $$
    lim_{xto-2^+}frac{2-|x|}{2+x}=lim_{xto-2^+}frac{2-|x|}{2-|x|}=lim_{xto-2^+}1=1.
    $$



    Since both one-sided limits are equal to the same number, the limit exists and is equal to $1$:



    $$lim_{xto-2}frac{2-|x|}{2+x}=1.$$



    Even though the function itself is undefined at $x=-2$ because the denominator at that point is zero ($f(-2)=frac{2-|-2|}{2-2}=frac{0}{0}$), the limit of this function at $x=-2$ does exist and is equal to $1$.

    Multiply and divide by $2+|x|$ and cancel:
    $$lim_{x to -2} frac{2-|x|}{2+x}=lim_{x to -2} frac{4-x^2}{(2+x)(2+|x|)}=lim_{x to -2} frac{2-x}{2+|x|}=frac{2-(-2)}{2+2}=1.$$

        @Jobiar Hossain $xrightarrow-2$. Id est, it's interesting what happens around $-2$, id est, for $x<0$. If $xrightarrow-2$ so can be $x>-2$ and can be $x<-2$ by the definition of the limits. We don't need to consider two cases here.

      What about L'Hospital's Rule?



      Since



      $$frac{2-|-2|}{2+-2}=frac{0}{0}$$



      then



      $$frac{d}{dx}(2-|x|)=-frac{x}{|x|}, frac{d}{dx}(2+x)=1$$



      evaluate
      $frac{-frac{x}{|x|}}{1}$
      at $x=-2$
      yields



      $$frac{-frac{-2}{|-2|}}{1} = frac{-(-1)}{1}=1$$

                        If you draw the graph, you will find that there is a vertical Asymptote at x=-2

                        What about L'Hospital's Rule?



                        Since



                        $$frac{2-|-2|}{2+-2}=frac{0}{0}$$



                        then



                        $$frac{d}{dx}(2-|x|)=-frac{x}{|x|}, frac{d}{dx}(2+x)=1$$



                        evaluate
                        $frac{-frac{x}{|x|}}{1}$
                        at $x=-2$
                        yields



                        $$frac{-frac{-2}{|-2|}}{1} = frac{-(-1)}{1}=1$$
