Solution
The given function is continuous at
x
=
2
.
Therefore,
l
i
m
x
→
2
−
f
(
x
)
=
l
i
m
x
→
2
+
f
(
x
)
=
f
(
2
)
l
i
m
x
→
2
=
f
(
2
)
Now, consider
l
i
m
x
→
2
f
(
x
)
=
l
i
m
x
→

l
i
m
x
→
2
(
x
+
5
)
(
x
−
2
)
2
(
x
−
2
)
2
=
l
i
m
x
→
2
(
x
+
5
)
=
7
Therefore,
7
=
f
(
2
)
=
k
Hence, the required value of k is 7.
