Question
If the function $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}3 x-8, & \text { if } x \leq 5 \\ 2 k, & \text { if } x>5\end{array}\right.$ is continuous, then the value of $k$ is

Answer

 Since $f(x) $ is continuous at $ x=5 \text {, }$
$\Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow 5} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 5^{+}} f(x)=f(5)$
$\Rightarrow 3(5)-8=2 k $
$\Rightarrow 7=2 k $
$\Rightarrow k=\frac{7}{2}$
