$f(2)$ is defined.
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} f(x)$ exists.
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} f(x)=f(2)$.
The function is continuous at $x=2$.
The function is not continuous at $x=2$.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine if f(2) is defined
The graph shows a solid dot at x = 2, at the point (2,2). This means f(2) = 2. Thus, f(2) is defined.
Step 2: Determine if the limit of f(x) as x approaches 2 exists.
As x approaches 2 from the left, f(x) approaches 2. As x approaches 2 from the right, f(x) approaches 0. Since the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit are not equal, the limit of f(x) as x approaches 2 does not exist.
Step 3: Determine if the limit of f(x) as x approaches 2 is equal to f(2).
Since the limit of f(x) as x approaches 2 does not exist, it cannot be equal to f(2).
