#2
For questions 1-2, let fbe the function defined as you see below: x² +kx-2 3x² + 4x+3 x³ +2 0 2 1-x 1) For what values of k, if any, will f be continuous at x = -2? Fully justify your answer. 2) Is the discontinuity x = 0 for the function f removeable or non removeable. Fully justify your answer. f(x) = { 3) The function f(x)= answer. x<-2 -2≤x<0 x = 0 x>0 x² −1 x-1 is continuous for which x values? Fully justify your The following question requires the use of a calculator. 4) The numerical method cannot be used to convince someone about the nature of a limit. But it can be used to investigate a function and suggest a potential limit value. X You suspect the graph of the function f(x)=√4x² has a vertical asymptote at x = 2. Provide a table of which contains values as x approaches 2 and their corresponding function values f(x) which seems to support your suspicions. What is it about this table of values that seems to support that the graph of f has x = 2 as a vertical asymptote?

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given and objective:

The aim is to check whether the discontinuity at x=0 for the given function is removable or non-removable.

 

Removable discontinuity:

A function fx is said to have removable discontinuity at x=a if the left hand and right hand limits i.e. limx→a-fx andlimx→a+fx exist and are equal, but the value is not equal to fa. Otherwise fx is said to have irremovable discontinuity at x=a.
