Work Step by Step

Recall: $f$ is continuous at $a$ if $\lim_{r\to a}f(r)=f(a)$. $\lim_{r\to -2}f(r)=\lim_{r\to -2}\sqrt[3]{4r^2-2r+7}$ Use the properties of limits $=\sqrt[3]{\lim_{r\to -2}(4r^2-2r+7)}$ Evaluate the limit by direct substitution $=\sqrt[3]{4(-2)^2-2(-2)+7}$ $=f(-2)$ Thus, $f(r)$ is continuous at $a=-2$.
