At the given point x0 discover whether the given function is continuous or discontinuous citing the reasons for your answer:
x0 = 3, `f(x) = {{:((x^2 - 9)/(x - 3)",", "if" x ≠ 3),(5",", "if" x = 3):}`
उत्तर
`lim_(x -> 3^-) f(x) = lim_(x -> 3^-) (x^2 - 9)/(x - 3)`
= `lim_(x -> 3^-) ((x + 3)(x - 3))/(x - 3)`
= `lim_(x -> 3^-) (x + 3)`
= 3 + 3
= 6 .........(1)
`lim_(x -> 3^+) f(x) = lim_(x -> 3^+) (x^2 - 9)/(x - 3)`
= `lim_(x -> 3^+) ((x + 3)(x - 3))/(x - 3)`
= `lim_(x -> 3^+) (x + 3)`
= 3 + 3
= 6 .........(2)
From equations (1) and (2)
`lim_(x -> 3^-) f(x) = lim_(x -> 3^-) f(x)` = 6
∴ `lim_(x -> 3) f(x)` = 6 ........(3)
`f(3)` = 5 ........(4)
From equations (3) and (4) we have
`lim_(x -> 3) f(x) ≠ f(3)`
∴ f(x) is not continuous at x0 = 3.
