Check the continuity of the function f given by f (x) = 2x + 3 at

x = 1.
Evaluating the value of the function
x=1
f(x) = 2x+3 = 2*1 + 3 = 5

Evaluating the limit of the function at x->1


Lim x->1 2x+3 = 2*1+3 = 5

since f(1) = lim x->1 2x+3, the function 2x+3 is continuous at


x=1

Examine whether the function f given by f (x) = x2 is


continuous at x = 0.

Evaluating value of the function


F(0) = 0^2 = 0

Evaluating the limit of the function at x->0


Lim x->0 x^2 = 0^2 = 0
Since f(0) =lim x-> 0 x^2, the function is continuous at x = 0

Discuss the continuity of the function f given by f(x) = | x | at


x = 0.

By definition f(x) = -x if x<0 and f(x) = x if x>= 0

Evaluating f(x) if x = 0

f(0) = |0|= 0

Evaluating the limit of the function at x->0+

Lim x-> 0+ f(x) = 0 (according to definition given above)

Evaluating limit of function at Lim x-> 0-

Lim x-> 0- f(-x) = 0 (according to definition given above)


f(x) {x^3+3 if x=/=0, and 1 if x=0}

Examine its continuity if at x=0

Evaluating the function at x=0

F(0) = 1

Evaluating the limit of the function at x->0+


Lim x->0+ F(x) = (0^3+3)

As it approaches 0 from either side, the value of the function


changes. Hence the function not continuous
