5 a) f ( x) is not continuous at x = 3 since f (3) and division by 0 is undefined.

The denominator in will never be zero, since x = 3 is not included in its domain.

However, in checking the break point (the only point in question), h(3) (3)3 2(3) 33 0.

Further, lim h( x) lim ( x3 2 x 33) 0 and lim ( x 3)

Since h(3) lim h( x), h is continuous for all x.

d. g ( x) is not continuous at x 2 and x since the denominator in the
( x 2)(2 x 3) 2
definition of g ( x) is 0.
