The piecewise function is \"\".

\

(a).

\

\"\"

\

x ---> 5- means that x approaches 5 from values less than 5, so the function f(x) = 6x - 5.

\

\"\".

\

 

\

(b).

\

\"\"

\

x ---> 5+ means that x approaches 5 from values greater than 5, so the function f(x) = x2.

\

\"\".

\

 

\

(c).

\

\"\"

\

x ---> 7- means that x approaches 7 from values less than 7, so the function f(x) = x2.

\

\"\".

\

 

\

(d).

\

\"\"

\

x ---> 7+ means that x approaches 7 from values greater than 7, so the function f(x) = 5x+14.

\

\"\".

\

 

\

(e).

\

\"\"

\

x ---> 9- means that x approaches 9 from values less than 9, so the function f(x) = 5x+14.

\

\"\".

\

 

\

(f).

\

\"\"

\

x ---> 9+ means that x approaches 9 from values greater than 9, so the function f(x) = 70.

\

\"\"

\

 

\

(g).

\

Since \"\" the function f(x) is discontinuity at x = 9.

\

Discontinuities are two types. (1) removable discontinuity and (2) non removable discontinuity.
