The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to ensure that the function \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 1 \). The function is defined as follows: \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} 3k - 2x & \text{if } x < 1 \\ 2k + 1 & \text{if } x \geq 1 \end{cases} \] ### Step 1: Determine the value of \( f(1) \) Since \( x = 1 \) falls under the case \( x \geq 1 \), we use the second part of the function: \[ f(1) = 2k + 1 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the left-hand limit as \( x \) approaches 1 We need to find the left-hand limit, which is calculated using the first part of the function: \[ \lim_{x \to 1^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 1^-} (3k - 2x) \] Substituting \( x = 1 \): \[ \lim_{x \to 1^-} f(x) = 3k - 2(1) = 3k - 2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the right-hand limit as \( x \) approaches 1 Next, we find the right-hand limit, which is calculated using the second part of the function: \[ \lim_{x \to 1^+} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 1^+} (2k + 1) = 2k + 1 \] ### Step 4: Set the left-hand limit equal to the right-hand limit For the function to be continuous at \( x = 1 \), the left-hand limit must equal the right-hand limit: \[ 3k - 2 = 2k + 1 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( k \) Now, we solve the equation: \[ 3k - 2 = 2k + 1 \] Subtract \( 2k \) from both sides: \[ 3k - 2k - 2 = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ k - 2 = 1 \] Adding 2 to both sides gives: \[ k = 3 \] ### Conclusion The value of \( k \) that makes the function continuous at \( x = 1 \) is: \[ \boxed{3} \]
