Math Problem Statement
Solution
The provided image displays a graph of the function . Below the graph, there are multiple statements asking for which you agree with. Let's analyze each of the points:
Function Behavior:
-
Points of Interest:
- The function has discontinuities or undefined points at and because these points make the denominator zero. These points must be analyzed for continuity and limits.
-
Behavior at and :
- The function appears to approach finite values at both and , but the function is likely not defined at these points due to the nature of the denominator. We would need to check for removable discontinuities (whether the limit exists).
-
General Observations:
- might be continuous at points other than and .
- The function has smooth, periodic behavior, implying continuity everywhere else except possibly at these problematic points.
Statement Evaluation:
-
is defined:
- Since makes the denominator zero, is likely not defined.
-
exists:
- The limit as might exist if the function approaches the same value from both sides (removable discontinuity). Based on the graph, this appears to be true.
-
is defined:
- Similar to , is likely not defined because the denominator becomes zero at this point.
-
:
- Since is not defined, this statement is false.
-
The function is continuous at :
- As discussed, the function is not continuous at due to the likely undefined value at that point. This statement is false.
-
The function is not continuous at :
- This statement is true because the function is not continuous at , likely due to the undefined value.
Conclusion:
- Select the following statements:
- exists.
- The function is not continuous at .
Would you like further details on any of the points above? Here are five related questions to consider:
- How do you determine if a limit exists at a point where the function is undefined?
- What is the difference between a removable and non-removable discontinuity?
- How can you algebraically find the limit of a function at a problematic point?
- What does it mean for a function to be continuous at a point?
- How does the graph of a function help in understanding its continuity?
Tip: Always remember that a function can have a limit at a point without being defined at that point. This often leads to removable discontinuities.
