Question

Test the continuity of the following function at the point or interval indicated against them :

f(x) `{:(= 4x + 1",",  "for"  x ≤  8/3),(= (59 - 9x)/3 ",",  "for"  x > 8/3):}}  "at"  x = 8/3`

Sum

Solution

`lim_(x -> 8^-/3) "f"(x) = lim_(x ->  8^-/3) (4x + 1)`

= `4 (8/3) + 1`

= `35/3`

`lim_(x -> 8^+/3) "f"(x) = lim_(x -> 8^+/3) ((59 - 9x)/3)`

= `(59 - 9(8/3))/3`

= `(59 - 24)/3`

= `35/3`

f(x) = 4x + 1

∴ `"f"(8/3) = 4(8/3) + 1 = 35/3`

∴ `lim_(x -> 8^-/3) "f"(x) = lim_(x -> 8^+/3) "f"(x) = "f"(8/3)`

f(x) is continuous at x = `8/3`.
