Solution

The correct option is A f is continuous at x=1
Checking for continuity at x=1:
limx1f(x)=f(1)=15(212+3)=1limx1+f(x)=651=1
Since limx1f(x)=limx1+f(x)=f(1), the function is continuous at x=1.
Checking for continuity at x=3:
limx3f(x)=653=9limx3+f(x)=f(3)=33=0
Since limx3f(x)limx3+f(x), the function is not continuous at x=3.
f(x) is an algebraic function that does not change its definition at x=2, so it is continuous at x=2.
The correct answer is option A.
