Answer

The value of $\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,g\left( x \right)$ is $1$.

Work Step by Step

The value of $\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,g\left( x \right)$ exists only if the values of $\underset{x\to {{0}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,g\left( x \right)$ and $\underset{x\to {{0}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,g\left( x \right)$ exist and are equal. It is seen from the table that, as the value of x nears $0$ from the left, the value of $ g\left( x \right)$ nears $1$ Thus $\underset{x\to {{0}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,g\left( x \right)=1$ It is seen from the table that, as the value of x nears $0$ from the right, the value of $ g\left( x \right)$ nears $1$ Thus $\underset{x\to {{0}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,g\left( x \right)=1$ Since $\underset{x\to {{0}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,g\left( x \right)=\underset{x\to {{0}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,g\left( x \right)$ Thus, $\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,g\left( x \right)=1$
