FOLLOW THE GIVEN SOLUTION

 

Determine if each of the provided functions is continuous at the specified value of 'a'. If a function is not continuous at that
point, identify the kind of discontinuity involved.
Follow number 3 solution below. Answer only number 4.
I.
f(a)
⇒h(x) = -1
II.
LHL x = -1
x = -1
= 4x² + 1
= 4(-1)² + 1
= 5
RHL x = 1
4.t(x) = {√x-2
x³-1
= {4x²+1
3. h(x) =
7
x ≥ 2
x < 2
F
x = 0
x=0
; a = 2
= 4x² + 1
= 5
; a = 0
= 4(1)² + 1
III.
f(a) = lim f(x)
x-0
⇒-1 5
h(x) = (4x² + 1
"
:> h(x) = 5 x = 0
x=0
x = 0
Is discontinuous and removable
