On all R, The left branch at x<4 is (1)x+(16); the right branch at x>4 is (-2)x+(29). The center value is 4. Give (left limit−center value, right limit−center value).
G001 — On all R, The left branch at x<4 is (1)x+(16); the right branch at x>4 is (-2)x+(29). The center value is 4. Give (left limit−center value, right limit−center value).Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
Before
declared real model;center a=4
After
distinguish punctured limits,point values and a new extension
Conditions: none
Use the declared real formulas;point values,punctured limits and values of a newly defined extension are different data.
Rule: continuity_model_scope · Uses: G001
Before
left branch slope times center := mul(1, 4)
After
left branch slope times center = 4
Conditions: none
Substitute the center a into this affine formula's product term.
Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001
Before
left branch center value := sum(4, 16)
After
left branch center value = 20
Conditions: none
Then add this branch's intercept,not the other branch's constant.
Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002
Before
right branch slope times center := mul(-2, 4)
After
right branch slope times center = -8
Conditions: none
Substitute the center a into this affine formula's product term.
Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003
Before
right branch center value := sum(-8, 29)
After
right branch center value = 21
Conditions: none
Then add this branch's intercept,not the other branch's constant.
Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004
Before
left L=20;right R=21;given f(a)=4
After
these are one-sided limits,not automatic point substitutions into f(a)
Conditions: none
For an affine branch the difference from its center limit L is m(x−a).For any ε>0 choose δ=ε/(1+|m|) to obtain the one-sided limit.The actual center value remains the separately specified v.
Rule: affine_one_sided_limits · Uses: G001, S005
Before
left limit minus point value := sub(20, 4)
After
left limit minus point value = 16
Conditions: none
Compute the left limit minus the actual point value.
Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S006
Before
right limit minus point value := sub(21, 4)
After
right limit minus point value = 17
Conditions: none
Compare the right limit with the same actual point value.
Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S007
Before
L−f(a)=16;R−f(a)=17
After
continuous at a=No
Conditions: none
In this real model with affine one-sided limits,continuity holds exactly when both limits and the point value agree.Equal left and right limits alone may still leave an incorrect center value.
