From UBC Wiki

Recall that exponential functions and polynomials are continuous on the whole real line,. Therefore, it is enough to consider the continuity of function at and .


Using

and

,

to have the continuity at , we need .


On the other hand, we have

and

.

This implies that is continuous at when . i.e., .


To sum, the answers are .
