Question 34

EasyOriginal question

For which value of kk is f(x)={kx−1,x<2k+3,x≥2f(x) = \begin{cases} kx - 1, & x < 2 \\ k + 3, & x \ge 2 \end{cases} continuous at x=2x = 2?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Left-hand limit 2k−12k - 1; right-hand limit and value k+3k + 3.

  2. 2k−1=k+32k - 1 = k + 3 gives k=4k = 4.

Worth noting

2 forgets the kk in the right-hand piece and solves 2k−1=32k - 1 = 3.
