Math Problem Statement
Use the graph below to determine the values of x at which the function is not continuous.
The field below accepts a list of numbers or formulas separated by semicolons (e.g. 2;4;6 or x+1;x−1 ). The order of the list does not matter.
Solution
The graph represents a function, and we are asked to determine the values of at which the function is not continuous.
Based on the visual inspection of the graph, here are the key observations:
- There is a vertical asymptote near , which suggests that the function is not continuous at .
- There is an open circle on the graph near , indicating a discontinuity at , as the function is not defined at this point.
Conclusion:
The function is not continuous at:

Tip:
Discontinuities in a function can often be identified through vertical asymptotes or gaps in the graph, so it's important to check for these when analyzing continuity.
