Answer:

0

Explanation:

So we are looking for a hole since the limit exists and f(b) doesn't exist/at least not equal to the limit.

The hole is at x=0 so b=0.

This would make the limit at x=0 be 2 which does exist.

Also f(0)=1 which does exist.

However 1 is not 2 which means the function in not continuous at x=b=0.

For it to be continuous:

You have to have the limit exist at x=b.

You also have to have f(b) exists.

You have have the limit at x=b is equal to f(b).

So parts 1 and 2 passes here, but the last part we did not get a pass which is what we wanted because we were looking for a discontinuity where the limit existed while the function was not continuous there which meant we needed either 2 or 3 had to fail.
