Exercise · ZW-CONTINUOUS-FUNCTION-010 · ★★☆ Intermediate
What is the value of \(\lim_{x\to3}(2x^{2}-x)\)?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- D. \(15\)
Explanation
The polynomial is continuous, so the limit is found by evaluating: \(2\cdot3^{2}-3=18-3=15\).
Review the concept: Continuous function
A function \(f\) is continuous at \(a\) if \(f(a)\) is defined, its limit as \(x\) tends to \(a\) exists and equals \(f(a)\).
\[\lim_{x\to a}f(x)=f(a)\]
