$$f is $$continuous at $$a if$$ $$\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = f(a).$$

Yes, because $$\lim_{x \to 2^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 2^+} f(x) = f(2).$$

$$\lim_{x \to a} [f(x) + g(x)] = \lim_{x \to a} f(x) + \lim_{x \to a} g(x)$$, provided both limits exist.

The limit $$\lim_{x \to a} f(x)$$ exists, but $$f(a) is $$either undefined or not equal to the limit.

Accepted Answer

$$0$$

Question 17

Which of the following is a correct application of the limit laws?
