If $$f(x) = begin{cases}18-x^2 &x<2 \x^2+2x+7 &xgeq2 end{cases}$$
Find a sequence such that $x_nto2$ and $f(x_n)notto f(2)$
I found a definition that says
$f:(a, b) to mathbb{R}$ is defined on an open interval then $f$ is continuous iff $displaystylelim_{xto c} f(x) =f(c): text{for}: a < c < b$ since every point is an accumulation point.
So I know that it there is a function where $x_nto2$ and $f(x_n) notto f(2)$ since the $f(x)$ is not continuous at 2 but I have no idea what this function would be.
As an attempt I tried $x_n=(2+frac1n)$ since its limit is $2$ but this did not look correct.
Any help appreciated

Let $x_{n}:=2-frac{1}{n}$. Then, for each $n$, $x_{n}< 2$, so
$$
f(x_{n})=18-left(2-frac{1}{n}right)^{2}=18-4+frac{4}{n}-frac{1}{n^{2}}to 14qquadtext{as }ntoinfty.
$$
But, $f(2)=15$.

You can take
$$x_n=2+frac{(-1)^n}{n+1}$$
$$(x_n)to 2$$
$$x_{2n}>2implies f(x_{2n})to 15$$
$$x_{2n+1}<2implies f(x_{2n+1})to 14$$

$$
f(x_{n})=18-left(2-frac{1}{n}right)^{2}=18-4+frac{4}{n}-frac{1}{n^{2}}to 14qquadtext{as }ntoinfty.
