Solution

Given, `f(x) = {{:(x + 2",",  x ≤ - 1),(cx^2",", x > -1):}`

L.H.L = `lim_(x -> -1^-) f(x)`

= `lim_(x -> -1^-) (x + 2)`

= `lim(h -> 0) (-1 - h + 2)`

= `lim_(h -> 0) (1 - h)` = 1

R.H.L = `lim_(x -> 1^+) cx^2`

= `lim_(h -> 0) c(-1 + h)^2` = c

Since the limits exist.

∴ L.H.L = R.H.L

∴ c = 1
