To prove that the function \( f(x) = 5x - 3 \) is continuous at the points \( x = 0 \), \( x = -3 \), and \( x = 5 \), we need to show that the left-hand limit, right-hand limit, and the functional value at each of these points are equal. ### Step 1: Check continuity at \( x = 0 \) 1. **Left-hand limit**: \[ \lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^-} (5x - 3) = 5(0) - 3 = -3 \] ...
