Question
Test the continuity of the following function at the point or interval indicated against them :

Solution
`lim_(x -> 8^-/3) "f"(x) = lim_(x -> 8^-/3) (4x + 1)`
= `4 (8/3) + 1`
= `35/3`
`lim_(x -> 8^+/3) "f"(x) = lim_(x -> 8^+/3) ((59 - 9x)/3)`
= `(59 - 9(8/3))/3`
= `(59 - 24)/3`
= `35/3`
f(x) = 4x + 1
∴ `"f"(8/3) = 4(8/3) + 1 = 35/3`
∴ `lim_(x -> 8^-/3) "f"(x) = lim_(x -> 8^+/3) "f"(x) = "f"(8/3)`
f(x) is continuous at x = `8/3`.
