A function f is continuous from the right at x=a if

limxa+f(x)=f(a)

And f is continuous from the belt at x=a if

limxaf(x)=f(a)

f is said to be continuous when it is continuous from both left and right

f(x)={1x+2if x21if x=2

So we can see that:

limx2f(x)=

And

limx2f(x)=+

Bat  f(2)=1

Therefore fis discontinuous at x=-2 from both left and right

Result: f is discontinuous at x=-2 from both left and right
