Calculus problem [do my homework!]

A bit of explanation. I didn't buy my calc. book. Normally my teacher is great, and for all my other classes (alg, trig, stat, phys. world) or until now for calculus, I never had to. He even prints out the homework for everyone so I don't need the book for that. This time, though... he sort of rushed a section so we could do it and a test. It's easy, it's just I don't have the book, and don't feel like borrowing it from a friend if I can get it from one of you math geniuses. It's not hard.

Problem:
Use the definition of continuity and the properties of limits to show that the function is continuos at the given number a.

f(x)= x^2 + Sqr root of(7-x), a = 4

The definition on cont. is just f(a) is defined, Lim f(x) as x approaches a exists, and lim F(x) as x approaches a = f(a).

By the way, the teacher's at some seminar until friday (due date).

To check f(a) is defined just plug in 4 into the equation and you get 16+sqrt(3).

Then just do lim as x approaches 4 of f(x) by plugging 4 in again and getting the same value.
The beatings will continue until the morale improves.

putting "do my homework!" as if you're being honest doesn't change the fact that you're a lazy shmuck who wants others to do his homework for him

someone close the thread already

ps. any person with a brain can figure out this stupid homework with ten minutes on google

I've seen a bunch of HW threads. It's not spam or anything, I don't know if it should be closed. Yeah, I am a lazy shmuck... aren't we all?

I understand the first part, but not the second. Explain if you would.

I only help people out because "easy" and "hard" have relative meaning. If I had a problem with something I would turn to someone who knows what they're doing even though they would consider it so easy they could google it in 10 minutes. But yea, I recommend at least trying to google it before asking.

I googled it. Couldn't find it. And I don't get your answer. I'm trying, at least I'm pretty sure, to get lim f(x) as x approaches a to = 4 because I'm trying to get it to = f(4).

WOW THX SF YOU REALLY HELPED.


And ender... I think you did help me. f(4) doesn't mean 4 it means what you get when you plug in 4 DOH!

CLOSE! (unless a math genius mod sees ender is wrong)

Proving the continuity of a function at a given number a usually works like this:

1. Plug in ( a + h ) and let h converge towards 0. You obtain the limit of f(x), x->a from the right side of a.

2. Plug in ( a - h ) and let h converge towards 0. You obtain the limit of f(x), x->a from the left side of a.

3. Plug in a.

4. If all three limits exist and all three limits are the same, the function is continuous at a.
