Find the values of a so that the function is continuous at x = 2.

Given:


The function f is continuous at x = 2


We know that,


If f is continuous at x = c, then The Left–hand limit, the Right–hand limit and the value of the function at x = c exist and are equal to each other.





2a + 5





since f is continuous at x = 2,



2a + 5 = 1


2a = 1 – 5


2a = –4


a = –2


Thus, f is continuous at x = 2 if a = –2.
