Math Problem Statement
Determine the intervals of the domain over which the function is continuous based on the given graph.
Solution
To determine the intervals where the function is continuous, we can analyze the graph provided.
Looking at the graph:
- The function starts at , and there is a closed dot at the point . This indicates that the function is defined at .
- From there, the function extends continuously in the positive direction (rightward) without any breaks or jumps up to approximately .
Thus, the function is continuous from to , inclusive of both endpoints since there are no breaks, jumps, or holes in this range.
The interval of continuity, in interval notation, is:

Here are 5 relative questions to expand on this concept:
- What is the formal definition of continuity at a point?
- How can you tell if a function has a discontinuity based on a graph?
- What is the difference between open and closed intervals in continuity?
- Can a function be continuous on some intervals but discontinuous at certain points?
- How does the concept of limits relate to continuity?
Tip: Always check for open and closed dots on graphs when determining continuity. Closed dots indicate the function is included at that point, while open dots mean the point is excluded.
