Activity 3

The document discusses how to analytically find the limit of a function at a point and check the continuity of a function. It provides the objective, basic knowledge, materials required, procedures which include using a specific function f(x) and evaluating it as x approaches 3 from the left and right, and the observations and result which is that the function is continuous at x=3 since the left and right limits exist and are equal to f(3).

2. Take some points on the left side ofx = 3 which are left neighbourhood of 3 and take some poat
the right side ofx =3 which are right neighbourhood of 3.

OBSERVATIONS

1. As x ’3 from the left, the value off(x) is approaching to


2. Asx 3from the right, the value off() is approaching to 6.
3. Here f(3) = 6

4. Because lim f(x) =X3


X’3
lim f(x) = 6 so given function is continuous at x =3.
RESULT : Function fx) is continuous at point x = c if its limit exist means lim f(r) = lim f(x) =f (c).
