Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the graph and verify each of the four given statements:
-
The domain of is all real numbers.
- From the graph, there are vertical asymptotes and open circles at certain points, which suggest that the function is not defined at these specific values.
- Observing the graph, there seems to be a discontinuity at and . Therefore, the domain of excludes these points, meaning the domain is not all real numbers.
- This statement is false.
-
has a removable discontinuity at .
- At , there is an open circle on the graph (indicating a discontinuity) and a filled point below the open circle, suggesting that the function could be redefined to fill this gap.
- This type of discontinuity is called a removable discontinuity.
- This statement is true.
-
has a jump discontinuity at .
- At , the graph jumps from one value to another, with a gap between them. This is characteristic of a jump discontinuity.
- This statement is true.
-
has an infinite discontinuity at .
- At , the graph appears to approach infinity, as indicated by the vertical asymptote.
- This is an infinite discontinuity.
- This statement is true.
Conclusion:
- Statements II, III, and IV are true, while statement I is false. Therefore, 3 out of 4 statements are true.
Would you like further clarification on any part of this problem?
Here are some related questions:
- What is the formal definition of a removable discontinuity?
- How does the domain of a function change when there are vertical asymptotes?
- Can a function have multiple types of discontinuities, such as both jump and infinite discontinuities?
- How can you redefine a function at a point of removable discontinuity?
- What are the implications of discontinuities in real-world applications of functions?
Tip: When identifying the domain of a function from its graph, look for vertical asymptotes and open circles—these indicate where the function is not defined.
