Question

if f(x)=    x^2 for x < or equal to 1 , then  
                2x-1 for x >1

a) f(x) is not continuous at x=1
b)f(x) is continuous at x=1 but f'(1) doesn't exit
c) f'(1) exists and equals 1
d)f'(1)= 2
e) lim f(x) as x approaches 1 doesn't exist

for a)  x approaches 1 does left limit=right limit=f(1)?
for b-d) find left derivative and right derivative and see if they are the same at x=1
for e) look at a
