Problem 4: Limits and Continuity for a Piecewise Function (18 points) For this problem, we will use all of our techniques to explore the continuity properties of the piecewise function h(x)=????x?2x2+2x?8?53x+2?? if x<2 if x=2 if x>2? First we need to evaluate the limit as x approaches 2 . a) (4 points) Evaluate x?2+lim?h(x). EXPLAIN citing any limit laws used, similar to Problem 2(a). x?2+lim?h(x)= b) (6 points) Evaluate x?2?lim?h(x). In this part individual limit laws do not need to be cited, but you must check the form and show your work, similar to Problem 3(b). Form: x?2?lim?h(x)= c) (4 points) Evaluate x?2lim?h(x). EXPLAIN using your answers to Problems 4(a) and 4(b) and the definition of a two-sided limit. x?2lim?h(x)= Now that we have evaluated the two-sided limit, we can check continuity at x=2. d) (4 points) Is h(x) continuous at x=2 ? EXPLAIN using the definition of continuity.
