precal question: please help!

OpenStudy (cloverracer):

I think there is one discontinuity

OpenStudy (sshayer):

\[1.find~ the~ limit~ at` x \rightarrow-3-~ and ~x \rightarrow-3+,and f(-3)\] \[2.find~\lim_{x \rightarrow 3-}~and ~\lim_{x \rightarrow 3+},also~f(3)\] \[3.find~\lim_{x \rightarrow 5-}~and~\lim_{x \rightarrow 5+},also~f(5)\]

OpenStudy (cloverracer):

how do you find the limit?

OpenStudy (sshayer):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow -3-}f(x)=\lim_{x \rightarrow -3-}\left\{ 3e ^{x+3}+3 \right\}\] put x=-3-h,h>0,\[h \rightarrow0 ~as~x \rightarrow-3-\] \[\lim_{x \rightarrow -3-}f(x)=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{ 3e ^{-3-h+3}+3 \right\}=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\left\{ 3e ^{-h}+3 \right\}\] \[=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\left( \frac{ 3 }{ e^h }+3 \right)=\frac{ 3 }{ e^0 }+3=3+3=6\] similarly find other limits

OpenStudy (sshayer):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow -3+}f(x)=\lim_{x \rightarrow -3+}\left\{ \frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x^2 \right\}=\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\left( -3\right)^2=\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }*(-3)^2=6\] \[f(-3)=\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }(-3)^2=6\] so \[\lim_{x \rightarrow -3-}f(x)=\lim_{x \rightarrow -3+}f(x)=f(-3)=6\] hence f(x) is continuous at x=-3

OpenStudy (sshayer):

similarly see other points.
