Find all values of a such that f is continuous on

f(x) =
x+4
x2
. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
if x a
if x > a
a=
$$1+172, 1172
Solution or Explanation
f is continuous on (, a) and (a, ). To make f continuous on
, we must have continuity at a.
Thus,
lim f(x) = lim f(x)
x a+
x a
lim x2 = lim (x + 4)

How would you "remove the discontinuity" of f? In other words, how would you define f(4) in order to
make f continuous at 4?

f(x) = x 3x 4

f(4) = 5

(x 4)(x + 1)
f(x) = x 3x 4 =

x4

f(4) = 5. Then f is continuous at 4.
