Cоnsider the functiоn$$style{fоnt-size:18pt}{f(x) = left{begin{аrrаy}{ll} 3аlpha+x^2, qquad & x < 2, \ 2x+1,quad & xge 2.end{array}right.}$$(a) Calculate the following quantities. Some of your answers will involve $$style{font-size:18pt}{alpha.}$$ (i) $$style{font-size:18pt}{f(2)}$$ (ii) $$style{font-size:18pt}{lim_{xrightarrow 2^-}{f(x)}}$$ (iii) $$style{font-size:18pt}{lim_{xrightarrow 2^+}{f(x)}}$$ (b) Find the value(s) of $$style{font-size:18pt}{alpha}$$ that make $$style{font-size:18pt}{f}$$ continuous for all real numbers, and explain how you have satisfied the definition of continuity at $$style{font-size:18pt}{x=2.}$$
