Question

In Exercises 15 and 16, use the formal definition of limit to prove that the function has a continuous extension to the given value of x.

x² – 2r – 3
2x - 6
x² – 1
15. f(x)
x = -1
16. g(x)
Transcribed Image Text:x² – 2r – 3 2x - 6 x² – 1 15. f(x) x = -1 16. g(x)
Expert Solution
Step 1

Limit:

15.f(x)=x2-1x+1, x=-1f(x)=(x+1)(x-1)(x+1)       =(x-1)x-1+lim(x-1)=-2x-1-lim(x-1)=-2So L.H.L=R.H.LTherefore the f(x) is continuous.
