Homework Statement


Determine whether the given function is continuous. If it is not, identify where it is discontinuous and which condition fails to hold.

f(x)= {x^3 if x < or = -2
{2 if x > -2


Homework Equations


The conditions are that a function is said to be continuous at x=c if the following conditions hold:
1 f(c) exists
2 lim as x approaches c f(x) exists
3 lim as x approaches c f(x) = f(c)



The Attempt at a Solution


My professor has not explained this and has assigned it...no clue what to do!

You will have to calculate the limit in each point and see whether the left and right sided limits are equal.
