Math Problem Statement
Solution
The graph provided shows the function , and the question relates to its properties at . Let's analyze the options based on the graph:
-
Is defined?
From the graph, at , the function has a point (a filled circle) at . This indicates that is defined and equals 3. -
Does the limit exist?
The left and right-hand limits as approaches 2 are both equal to 3 (since the graph approaches the same value from both sides), so the limit exists. -
Is ?
Since the limit as approaches 2 equals 3, and the function value at is also 3, we can confirm that . -
Is the function continuous at ?
Since the limit exists and equals , and is defined, the function is continuous at .
Thus, based on the graph:
- The correct selections would be:
- is defined.
- exists.
- .
- The function is continuous at .

Here are some related questions to expand on this:
- How do you determine if a function is continuous at a point from a graph?
- What is the difference between a filled and open circle on a graph?
- How can you compute limits from a graph?
- What are the three conditions for continuity at a point?
- What are some examples of functions that are not continuous at a point?
Tip: When checking for continuity at a point, always verify the following: the function is defined at the point, the limit exists at that point, and the function's value equals the limit at that point.
