For some piecewise function f(x), the limit as x approaches "a" from the left is 5. the limit as x approaches "a" from the right is -3. what is the limit of f(x) as x approaches "a"?

The limit does not exist.

Step-by-step explanation: The limit of a piecewise function f(x) as it approaches "a" will exist if and only if the value of the limit of f(x) as x approaches "a" from the left is the same with the value of the limit of f(x) as x approaches "a" from the right.

From the given question the value are not the same. We have 5 (limit from the left) and -3 (limit from the right). So, we can conclude that the limit of f(x) as x approaches "a" does not exist.

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
