Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall limit - definition
The limit of a function as $x$ approaches a value is the $y$ - value the function approaches. For one - sided limits, we look at the behavior of the function as $x$ approaches from the left or right. The derivative at a point is the slope of the tangent line at that point.
Step2: Find $\lim_{x\rightarrow2}f(x)$
As $x$ approaches 2 from both the left and the right, the function values approach - 3. So, $\lim_{x\rightarrow2}f(x)=-3$.
Step3: Find $\lim_{x\rightarrow4^{+}}f(x)$
As $x$ approaches 4 from the right, the function values approach 3. So, $\lim_{x\rightarrow4^{+}}f(x)=3$.
Step4: Find $\lim_{x\rightarrow4^{-}}f(x)$
As $x$ approaches 4 from the left, the function values approach 2. So, $\lim_{x\rightarrow4^{-}}f(x)=2$.
Step5: Find $\lim_{x\rightarrow4}f(x)$
Since $\lim_{x\rightarrow4^{-}}f(x)=2$ and $\lim_{x\rightarrow4^{+}}f(x)=3$, $\lim_{x\rightarrow4}f(x)$ does not exist.
Step6: Find $\lim_{x\rightarrow - 5}f(x)$
As $x$ approaches - 5 from both the left and the right, the function values approach 3. So, $\lim_{x\rightarrow - 5}f(x)=3$.
Step7: Find $f^{\prime}(3)$
The function is a straight - line segment for $x\in[3,4]$. The slope of the line segment from $(3, - 3)$ to $(4,2)$ is $m=\frac{2-( - 3)}{4 - 3}=5$. So, $f^{\prime}(3)=5$.
Step8: Find $f^{\prime}(6)$
For $x\geq4$, the function is a horizontal line $y = 3$. The slope of a horizontal line is 0. So, $f^{\prime}(6)=0$.
Step9: Find $f^{\prime}(-2.3)$
The function is a straight - line segment for $x\in[-5,-2]$. The slope of the line segment from $(-5,3)$ to $(-2,1)$ is $m=\frac{1 - 3}{-2-( - 5)}=-\frac{2}{3}$. So, $f^{\prime}(-2.3)=-\frac{2}{3}$.
Step10: Find discontinuities
At $x = 4$, $\lim_{x\rightarrow4^{-}}f(x)=2$ and $\lim_{x\rightarrow4^{+}}f(x)=3$. This is a jump discontinuity.
