Let \( f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{lll}5 x+9 & \text { if } & x<3 \\ 39-5 x & \text { if } & x>3 \\ 23 & \text { if } & x=3\end{array}\right. \) Determine whether \( \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) \) is continuous at \( x=3 \). If \( \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) \) is not continuous, identify why. Not continuous: \( \lim _{x \rightarrow 3} f(x) \) does not exist. Not continuous: \( f(3) \) is undefined. Not continuous: \( \lim _{x \rightarrow 3} f(x) \neq f(3) \). The function is continuous at \( x=3 \).
