Graphically Exploring Limits

What is the limit of f as x approaches 5 from the left?

You can drag the gray dot, x-value, on the x-axis. 1. Drag the x-value so that it is approaching 5 from the left, or from the negative side. 2. Watch the values of f(x) = y as you slide the x-value towards 5 from the left. (DON'T LET THE GRAY DOT TOUCH x = 5, but get as close as you can) 3. This is the limit of f(x) as x approaches 5 from the left:
