Math Problem Statement

Over which intervals is h continuous?

Solution

In this graph of function hh, we can observe the following:

  • The dashed lines represent asymptotes, which are points where the function is not defined.
  • There are breaks or jumps in the graph, indicating points of discontinuity.

Interval Analysis for Continuity:

  1. From [3,3][-3, 3]:

    • The function appears continuous from 3-3 to 22. However, at x=2x = 2, there is a jump discontinuity (a gap in the graph). Therefore, the function is not continuous over the entire interval [3,3][-3, 3].
  2. From [3,5][3, 5]:

    • From x=3x = 3 to x=5x = 5, the function is continuous without any breaks or gaps. So, the function is continuous over this interval.

Thus, the correct answer is B: [3,5][3, 5].

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this topic:

  1. What are the conditions for a function to be continuous at a point?
  2. How do vertical asymptotes affect the continuity of a function?
  3. Can a function be continuous at all points except for one? If so, what is it called?
  4. What is the difference between removable and non-removable discontinuities?
  5. How can the continuity of a piecewise function be evaluated?

Tip: When determining the continuity of a function from a graph, focus on any points where the graph is broken or has jumps, as these indicate discontinuities.
