Answer

Not continuous

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $f(x)=\sqrt{x-2}$ We use the continuity checklist to determine if $f$ is continuous in $a=1$: 1) Determine the function's domain: $x-2\geq 0$ $x\geq 2$ $D=[2,\infty)$ $a=1$ is not in the function's domain, therefore $f$ is not defined for $a=1$. As the conditions 1 is not satisfied, the function is not continuous in $a=1$.
