Use the definition of continuity and the properties of limits to show that the function is continuous at the given number a. p(v) = 5402 + 5, = a = 1 lim p(v) V +1 V1 lim 5 4v2 + 5 5 lim V 4v2 + 5 by the Constant Multiple Law V1 = 5 lim (4v2 + 5 by the Sum Law X V1 = 5 lim V1 + lim 5 V1 by the Difference Law X (4v2) + (12) + 5 4 lim V1 + lim 5 V1 by the Constant Multiple Law 5/4 (1) + 5 + by the Direct Substitution Property v Find p(1) P(1) = Thus, by the definition of continuity, p is continuous at a = 1.
