Let f be the piecewise-defined function [a²x² + 112 if x > 2 a + 124 if = 2 2a²x² f(x) = if x < 2 Find the value(s) of a that makes f continuous at x = 2. If there are no values of a that make f continuous, answer "DNE." If there are more than one answer, give your answer as a comma-separated list (i.e. 2,3). Note: in your work, you must use the conditions of continuity to justify your work. Using a graph as your main justification will earn no credit.

Question
Let f be the piecewise-defined function
a²2112 if
> 2
f(x) =
a + 124
if
= 2
2a²x²
if x < 2
Find the value(s) of a that makes f continuous at = 2. If there are no values of a that make f
continuous, answer "DNE." If there are more than one answer, give your answer as a comma-separated list
(i.e. 2,3).
Note: in your work, you must use the conditions of continuity to justify your work. Using a graph as your
main justification will earn no credit.
