Question 12 If the function π(π₯)={(π₯^2 β 1)/(π₯ β 1) π€βππ π₯β 1 @π π€βππ π₯=1 )β€is given to be continuous at x = 1, then the value of k is ________ Since f(x) is continuous at x = 1, then limβ¬(xβ1) π(π₯)=π(1) limβ¬(xβ1) ((π₯^2 β 1)/(π₯ β 1)) =π limβ¬(xβ1) (((π₯ β 1)(π₯ + 1))/(π₯ β 1)) =π limβ¬(xβ1) (π₯+1) =π 1 + 1 = k 2 = k k = 2 Therefore, k = 2
