Solution:

(a)

Step 1:  
We first calculate  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 3^+}f(x).}   We have

       Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{\lim_{x\rightarrow 3^+}f(x)} & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{x\rightarrow 3^+} 4\sqrt{x+1}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{4\sqrt{3+1}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{8.} \end{array}}

Step 2:  
Now, we calculate  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 3^-}f(x).}   We have

       Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{\lim_{x\rightarrow 3^-}f(x)} & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{x\rightarrow 3^-} x+5}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{3+5}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{8.} \end{array}}

Step 3:  
Now, we calculate  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(3).}   We have

       Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(3)=4\sqrt{3+1}\,=\,8.}

Since
        Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 3^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\rightarrow 3^-}f(x)=f(3),}
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x)}   is continuous at  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x=3.}

(b)

Step 1:  
We need to use the limit definition of derivative and calculate the limit from both sides. So, we have

       Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^-}\frac{f(3+h)-f(3)}{h}} & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^-}\frac{(3+h)+5-8}{h}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^-}\frac{h}{h}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^-}1}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{1.} \end{array}}

Step 2:  
Now, we have

       Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^+}\frac{f(3+h)-f(3)}{h}} & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^+}\frac{4\sqrt{3+h+1}-8}{h}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^+}\frac{4(\sqrt{4+h}-\sqrt{4})}{h}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^+}\frac{4(\sqrt{4+h}-\sqrt{4})(\sqrt{4+h}+\sqrt{4})}{h(\sqrt{4+h}+\sqrt{4})}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^+}\frac{4(4+h-4)}{h(\sqrt{4+h}+\sqrt{4})}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^+}\frac{4h}{h(\sqrt{4+h}+\sqrt{4})}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^+}\frac{4}{(\sqrt{4+h}+\sqrt{4})}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\frac{4}{2\sqrt{4}}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{1.}\\ \end{array}}

Step 3:  
Since
       Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \lim_{h\rightarrow 0^-}\frac{f(3+h)-f(3)}{h}=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^+}\frac{f(3+h)-f(3)}{h},}
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x)}   is differentiable at  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x=3.}


Final Answer:  
    (a)     Since Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow 3^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\rightarrow 3^-}f(x)=f(3),~f(x)}   is continuous at Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x=3.}
    (b)     Since Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \lim_{h\rightarrow 0^-}\frac{f(3+h)-f(3)}{h}=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0^+}\frac{f(3+h)-f(3)}{h},}

              Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x)}   is differentiable at Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x=3.}
