The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given function and the statements, let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Define the function The function is defined as: - \( f(x) = x^2 - 5 \) for \( x \leq 3 \) - \( f(x) = \sqrt{x + 13} \) for \( x > 3 \) ### Step 2: Check for continuity at \( x = 3 \) To check if the function is continuous at \( x = 3 \), we need to find the left-hand limit, right-hand limit, and the value of the function at that point. 1. **Left-hand limit as \( x \) approaches 3**: \[ \lim_{x \to 3^-} f(x) = f(3) = 3^2 - 5 = 9 - 5 = 4 \] 2. **Right-hand limit as \( x \) approaches 3**: \[ \lim_{x \to 3^+} f(x) = \sqrt{3 + 13} = \sqrt{16} = 4 \] 3. **Value of the function at \( x = 3 \)**: \[ f(3) = 3^2 - 5 = 4 \] Since the left-hand limit, right-hand limit, and the value of the function at \( x = 3 \) are all equal (4), the function is continuous at \( x = 3 \). ### Step 3: Check for differentiability at \( x = 0 \) Next, we need to check if the function is differentiable at \( x = 0 \). 1. **Function value at \( x = 0 \)**: Since \( 0 \leq 3 \), we use the first part of the function: \[ f(0) = 0^2 - 5 = -5 \] 2. **Finding the derivative**: The derivative of \( f(x) = x^2 - 5 \) for \( x < 3 \) is: \[ f'(x) = 2x \] Evaluating at \( x = 0 \): \[ f'(0) = 2 \cdot 0 = 0 \] Since the derivative exists and is finite at \( x = 0 \), the function is differentiable at that point. ### Conclusion 1. The function is **continuous** at \( x = 3 \). 2. The function is **differentiable** at \( x = 0 \). Thus, both statements provided in the question are **incorrect**. ### Final Answer Both statements are incorrect. ---
