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. |
| |
|
C. |
Yes, because the function is defined at x = 2 and approaches y = 8 on the left and right sides of x = 2. |
D. |
Yes, because the function approaches the same y-value 8 on the left and right sides of x = 2. |
| |
|
Hint |
|
| |
2. |
Determine whether the function f(x) = is continuous at x = 1. |
| |
|
A. |
Yes, the inability to divide by 0 has no bearing on this problem. |
B. |
None is correct. |
| |
|
C. |
Yes, it is continuous at x = 1, but not at x = -1. |
D. |
No, because substituting x = 1 results in a denominator of 0. |
| |
