Question
Determine the value of the constant k so that the function $\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}\text{kx}^2,&\text{if }\text{ x}\leq2\\3,&\text{if }\text{ x}>2\end{cases}$ is continuous at x = 2.

Answer

Given, $\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}\text{kx}^2,&\text{if }\text{ x}\leq2\\3,&\text{if }\text{ x}>2\end{cases}$ If f(x) is continuous at x = 2, then $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow2^-}\text{f(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow2^+}=\text{f}(2)\ ...(\text{i})$ Now, $\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow2^-}\text{f(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{f}(2-\text{h})\\=\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{k}(2-\text{h})^2=4\text{k}$ And, f(2) = 3 From (i) we have, $4\text{k}=3$$\Rightarrow\text{k}=\frac{3}{4}$
