Q. Determine the continuity of the function f(x) = { x^2, x < 1; 2, x = 1; x + 1, x > 1 } at x = 1.
A.
Continuous
B.
Not continuous
C.
Depends on the limit
D.
Only left continuous
Show solution
Solution
The left limit as x approaches 1 is 1, the right limit is 2, and f(1) = 2. Since the left and right limits do not match, f(x) is not continuous at x = 1.

Q. Determine the continuity of the function f(x) = { x^2, x < 1; 2x - 1, x ≥ 1 } at x = 1.
A.
Continuous
B.
Discontinuous
C.
Only left continuous
D.
Only right continuous
Show solution
Solution
At x = 1, f(1) = 2(1) - 1 = 1 and lim x→1- f(x) = 1, lim x→1+ f(x) = 1. Thus, f(x) is continuous at x = 1.

A.
Continuous
B.
Not continuous
C.
Continuous from the left
D.
