Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question provided is in Indonesian and asks to determine whether the function
is continuous at . Let's analyze the function's continuity at .
Step-by-Step Analysis:
-
Check the function's definition: The function appears to have a potential problem at because it would result in a division by zero (since the denominator becomes zero at ).
-
Simplify the expression: Let's try to factor the numerator to see if it cancels out the denominator. The numerator can be factored as: So the function becomes: For , we can cancel out the terms:
-
Check the limit: The simplified form of the function suggests that for any near 2 (but not equal to 2), the function approaches .
-
Evaluate at : However, at , the function is not defined (since the original form has a zero in the denominator). So, the function has a removable discontinuity at .
-
Conclusion: The function is not continuous at because it is not defined there, but the discontinuity is removable. By defining , the function would become continuous.
