Use the definition of continuity to show that f is continuous at 2: f(x) = 3x² – 2x + 1.
Transcribed Image Text:Use the definition of continuity to show that f is continuous at 2: f(x) = 3x² – 2x + 1.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Definition of function continuity is:

A function fx is said to be continuous at point x0 if and only if

limxx0fx=fx0

Given function is: fx=3x2-2x+1

To check the continuity at the point x=2, determine the value of f2.

f2=322-22+1=12-3=9
