The function f(x) = |x² - 4|/(x - 2) is continuous at x = 2 if we define f(2) as:

A.2
B.0
C.4
D.It cannot be made continuous

Explanation

Core Concept

For x ≠ 2: f(x) = |x²-4|/(x-2). When x > 2: f(x) = (x²-4)/(x-2) = x+2. When x < 2: f(x) = -(x²-4)/(x-2) = -(x+2). The right limit is 4 and left limit is -4. Since limits differ, it cannot be made continuous.

Correct Answer

C4
