1. |
Determine whether the function f(x) = 2x2 - x + 2 is continuous at x = 2. |
| |
|
A. |
None of these are correct. |
B. |
Yes, because the function is defined at x = 2 and approaches y = 8 on the left and right sides of x = 2. |
| |
|
C. |
Yes, because the function is defined at x = 2. |
D. |
Yes, because the function approaches the same y-value 8 on the left and right sides of x = 2. |
