Math Problem Statement
Determine where the graph has removable discontinuity.
Solution
To determine where the graph has a removable discontinuity, we need to look for a point on the graph where the function is not defined (often indicated by a hole) but where the limit exists and is the same from both sides of the discontinuity.
Analyzing the Graph:
- The graph shows two blue curves and two open circles indicating where the graph might have discontinuities.
- The open circles are located where the function is not defined, indicating potential discontinuities.
- A removable discontinuity is specifically a point where the function could be redefined to make it continuous (i.e., filling in the hole).
Removable Discontinuity Location:
- The graph has an open circle at the -value where the two curves meet horizontally. This open circle occurs at , and the graph approaches the same value from both sides, indicating a removable discontinuity.
Conclusion:
The graph has a removable discontinuity at .
