f(x)= {2x-3, x cannot equal 2 and 0, x=2} has a removable discontinuity. Redefine f(x) so that it is continuous at x=2.

replace \(x\) by \(2\) and see what you get
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or better yet, just remove all the verbiage and write
\[f(x)=2x-3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got 1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah ignore my first answer, just make \(f(x)=2x-3\) for all \(x\)
then it is continuous for sure
it is a line
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what about the 0?

what about it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its the answer just f(x)=2x−3 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[f(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{rcc}
2x-3 & \text{if} & x \neq 2 \\
0& \text{if} & x =2
\end{array}
\right.

the only reason this is not continuous at \(2\) is because \(2\times 2-3=-1\) and this function is defined so that \(f(2)=0\) rather than \(-1\) for some reason
to get rid of that stupid discontinuity, make the function just \(f(x)=2x-3\) for all \(x\) like normal, and then it is continuous
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh okay thank you so much:)
