The first step to determine continuity at a point is to determine if the function is defined at that point. When we substitute in 3 for 
, we get 18 as our 
-value. 
is thus defined for this function.
The next step is determine if the limit of the function is defined at that point. This means that the left-hand limit must be equal to the right-hand limit at 
. Substitution reveals the following:
Both sides of the function, therefore, approach a 
-value of 18.
Finally, we must ensure that the curve is smooth by checking the limit of the derivative of both sides.
Since the function passes all three tests, it is continuous.
