PLet f be a function that is defined for all real numbers x. Of the following, which is the best interpretation of the statement lim x->3 f(x)=5?

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The definition of a limit is the value a function it is approaching as the limit approaches a certain point.
We have the limit:
[tex]\lim_{x\to3} f(x)=5[/tex]
In other words, the value of f(x) as x approaches 3 approaches 5.
We do not care what happens at x=3. Rather, the limit tells us that as x approaches or gets closer to x=3, the function f(x) gets closer to 5.
Thus, the correct answer is C.
