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:

  1. The graph shows two blue curves and two open circles indicating where the graph might have discontinuities.
  2. The open circles are located where the function is not defined, indicating potential discontinuities.
  3. 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 xx-value where the two curves meet horizontally. This open circle occurs at x=1x = 1, and the graph approaches the same value from both sides, indicating a removable discontinuity.

Conclusion:

The graph has a removable discontinuity at x=1x = 1.
