Math Problem Statement
Evaluate the functions f(x), g(x), h(x) and their limits as x approaches 3. Check for continuity at x = 3 for each function.
Solution
Let's go through the questions from the image one by one.
1. Evaluate each function:
a)
Given:
Factor the numerator: For , the denominator becomes zero, so the function is undefined. Hence:
b)
Given: Factor both the numerator and denominator: At , the denominator is zero, so .
c)
Given: Substitute : So:
2. Evaluate each limit:
a)
Since: Cancel the terms:
b)
For , simplify: As , the denominator tends to zero, so:
c)
Since is defined at , the limit can be evaluated as the function value:
3. Continuity at :
- is not continuous at because does not exist.
- is not continuous at because does not exist.
- is continuous at because both exists and ( \lim_{x
