For what value of the constant ( c ) is the function ( f ) continuous on ( (-infty, infty) ) ? [ f(x)=left{egin{array}{ll} c x^{2}+2 x & ext { if } x<2 \ x^{3}-c x & ext { if } x geqslant 2 end{array} ight. ] Answer + [ frac{2}{3} ] (for what ( mathrm{c} ) is ( mathrm{f} ) continuous everywhere?) Also sketch a graph of ( f(x) ) for the value of ( c ) that you found.

Step 1
This means that the limit of \( f(x) \) as \( x \) approaches 2 from the left (denoted by \( x \to 2^- \)) must be equal to the limit of \( f(x) \) as \( x \) approaches 2 from the right (denoted by \( x \to 2^+ \)). The limit of \( f(x) \) as \( x \to 2^- \) is Show more…
