1.3 – Continuity, End Behavior, and Limits
Ex. 1 Determine whether each function is continuous at the given x value(s). Justify using the continuity test. If discontinuous, identify the type of discontinuity as infinite, jump, or removable.
a. f(x) = 3x – 2 if x > -3 ; at x = -3 2 – x if x < - 3

a. f(x) = 3x – 2 if x > -3 ; at x = -3 2 – x if x < - 3
1. Find f(-3). f(-3) = 2 – (-3) = 5, so f(-3) exists
2. Investigate values close to f(-3)

1. Find f(-3) and f(3).
b. f(x) = x + 3 ; at x = -3 and x = 3 x2 – 9
1. Find f(-3) and f(3).f(-3) = -3 + 3 = 0 = Ø

b. f(x) = x + 3 ; at x = -3 and x = 3 x2 – 9
1. Find f(-3) and f(3).f(-3) = -3 + 3 = 0 = Ø
(-3)2 – 9 0f(3) = 3 + 3 = 6 = Ø (3)2 – 9 0
b. f(x) = x + 3 ; at x = -3 and x = 3 x2 – 9
1. Find f(-3) and f(3).f(-3) = -3 + 3 = 0 = Ø

Since both f(-3) = Ø and f(3) = Ø, f(x) is discontinuous at both x = -3 and x = 3.
