The correct answer is: 2 only
$\begin{aligned} & \text { LHLf }(2.99-0)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}(2.99-h) \\ & \lim _{h \rightarrow 0}(2.99-h)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} 2=2 \\ & \text { RHL } f(2.99-0)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(2.99+h) \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}(2.99+h)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} 2=2 \\ & \text { LHL }=\text { RHL } \end{aligned}$
$\therefore \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})$ is continous at $\mathrm{x}=2.99$
