CBSEENMA12034423

Examine the continuity of the function f(x) = 2x2 –1 at.x = 3

Solution

Here
      straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals 2 straight x squared minus 1
Lt with straight x rightwards arrow 3 below space straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals Lt with straight x rightwards arrow 3 below space left parenthesis 2 straight x squared minus 1 right parenthesis equals 2 left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis squared minus 1
equals 2 left parenthesis 9 right parenthesis minus 1 equals 18 minus 1 equals 17
Now space straight f space is space defined space at space straight x equals 3
and space space space space straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals 2 left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis squared minus 1 equals 2 left parenthesis 9 right parenthesis minus 1 equals 18 minus 1 equals 17
therefore Lt with straight x rightwards arrow 3 below space space space straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals straight f left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis equals 17
therefore space straight f space is space continous space at space straight x equals 3.
