If $\quad f: R \rightarrow R \quad$ is defined by $f(x)=[x-3]+|x-4|$ for $x \in R$, then $\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{-}} f(x)$ is equal to
  1. $-2$
  2. $-1$
  3. $0$
  4. $1$

Solution

Given that, $ \begin{aligned} f(x) & =[x-3]+|x-4| \\ \therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{-}} f(x) & =\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{-}}([x-3]+|x-4|) \\ & =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}([3-h-3]+|3-h-4|) \\ & =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}([-h]+1+h) \\ & =-1+1+0=0 \end{aligned} $
