Continuity & Differentiability · Question 32 of 125

Question 32

EasyOriginal question

f(x)=x2−16x−4f(x) = \frac{x^{2} - 16}{x - 4} for x≠4x \ne 4, and f(4)=kf(4) = k. For which kk is ff continuous at x=4x = 4?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. x2−16x−4=x+4\frac{x^{2} - 16}{x - 4} = x + 4 for x≠4x \ne 4.

  2. So the limit at 4 is 8, and kk must be 8.

Worth noting

4 takes only the xx of x+4x + 4.
