Notice, these are all less than one, but they're getting closer and closer to one. And so what we really wanna look at is the value, what does f of x approach as x is getting closer and closer, let me write it, as x is getting closer and closer to one from the left, from the left. And a key realization here is, if we're thinking about general limits, not just from one direction, then we might wanna look at from the left and from the right. But they're asking us only from the left, so we should only be looking at these values right over here. In fact, we shouldn't even let the value of f of x at x equal one confuse us. Sometimes, and oftentimes, the limit is approaching a different value than the value of the function at that point. So let's look at this.
