Let's break down the problem from the image you uploaded.
Problem Summary:
You are asked to:
- Determine the points on the interval where the function has a discontinuity.
- For each discontinuity point, state which condition from the continuity checklist is violated:
- is defined (i.e., is in the domain of ).
- exists.
- (i.e., the value of the limit equals the function's value).
The graph represents the function over the interval .
Analysis of the Graph:
- The graph is continuous except at , where there is a jump discontinuity.
- At , the left-hand limit is not equal to the right-hand limit .
- Therefore, the function is discontinuous at .
Violation of Continuity Conditions at :
- is defined, so the first condition holds.
- However, does not exist because the left-hand limit and right-hand limit differ.
- Therefore, the second condition is violated.
Answer:
- The function is discontinuous at .
- The violated condition is: the limit does not exist (condition 2).
Would you like any more details on this? Here are some related questions that can expand your understanding:
- What are the different types of discontinuities (jump, removable, infinite)?
- How do you calculate limits graphically?
- Why does a discontinuity at in this graph count as a jump discontinuity?
- What is the difference between left-hand and right-hand limits?
- Can a function have more than one discontinuity within a given interval?
Tip: Always check both one-sided limits when looking for discontinuities in graphs!
