Mathematics

Answer:

k=6

Step-by-step explanation:

For a piecewise function to be continuous, the left-side and right-side limits must be equal to each other. Therefore, the left-side limit of f(x) is 8 because the derivative of 2x^2 is 4x, and then directly substituting x=2 gives us 4(2)=8. Therefore, the right-side limit must also equal 8. Therefore, k must be 6 because 2+6=8.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

Continuous at x = 2

\displaystyle f(x) = \left \{ {{2x^2 \ if \ x < 2} \atop {x + k \ if \ x \geq 2}} \right.

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>k</u></em>

  1. Definition of Continuity:                                                                                   \displaystyle  \lim_{x \to 2^+} 2x^2 =  \lim_{x \to 2^-} x + k
  2. Evaluate limits:                                                                                                  \displaystyle 2(2)^2 =  2 + k
  3. Evaluate exponents:                                                                                         \displaystyle 2(4) =  2 + k
  4. Multiply:                                                                                                             \displaystyle 8 =  2 + k
  5. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2 on both sides:                        \displaystyle 6 = k
  6. Rewrite:                                                                                                             \displaystyle k = 6
