(a) What is wrong with the following equation?
\(\dfrac{x^2 + x - 6}{x - 2} = x + 3\)
(b) In view of part (a), explain why the equation
\(\operatorname*{lim}\limits_{x \rightarrow 2} \dfrac{x^2 + x - 6}{x - 2} = \operatorname*{lim}\limits_{x \rightarrow 2} (x + 3)\)
is correct.
Explain why the function is discontinuous at the given number \(a\). Sketch the graph of the function.
\(f(x) = \begin{cases} \dfrac{x^2 - x}{x^2 - 1} & \text{if } x \neq 1 \\ 1 & \text{if } x = 1 \end{cases}\), \(a = 1\)

| Continuity - Using Continuity
· Level 2
Use continuity to evaluate the limit.
\(\operatorname*{lim}\limits_{x \rightarrow 2} x \sqrt{20 - x^2}\)
Which of the following functions \(f\) has a removable discontinuity at \(a\)? If the discontinuity is removable, find a function \(g\) that agrees with \(f\) for \(x \neq a\) and is continuous at \(a\).
The toll \(T\) charged for driving on a certain stretch of a toll road is \$5 except during rush hours (between 7 AM and 10 AM and between 4 PM and 7 PM) when the toll is \$7.
(a) Sketch a graph of \(T\) as a function of time \(t\), measured in hours past midnight.
(b) Discuss the discontinuities of this function and their significance.
