Math Problem Statement
Use interval notation to indicate where f is continuous.
Solution
To determine where the function is continuous based on the graph, we can observe any jumps, breaks, or asymptotes.
Observations from the graph:
- The graph seems to have several points where the function is not continuous.
- There is a clear vertical asymptote at , which suggests the function is not defined or has infinite behavior there.
- Additionally, it appears there are discontinuities at other specific points, marked by hollow circles, indicating possible jump discontinuities.
Conclusion for Continuity:
The function is continuous on all intervals where there are no breaks, jumps, or vertical asymptotes.
Based on the graph, appears continuous on the following intervals (in interval notation):
The points where is discontinuous:
- At (vertical asymptote)
- Possibly at some discrete points such as and due to potential jumps (hollow circles).
Let me know if you'd like more details or clarification.
Here are 5 follow-up questions related to continuity and functions:
- What are the different types of discontinuities that can occur in a function?
- How do you determine the continuity of a piecewise function?
- Can you explain the Intermediate Value Theorem in the context of continuity?
- What does it mean for a function to have a removable discontinuity?
- How is the concept of limits connected to the continuity of a function?
Tip: When analyzing the continuity of a function, pay close attention to both the domain (where the function is defined) and any potential asymptotes or jumps, as these usually indicate discontinuities.
