Math Problem Statement
The problem is asking the x values for which f(x) is discontinuous
Solution
To determine the -values for which the function is discontinuous, we need to identify points on the graph where there is a break, jump, or any other kind of interruption in the curve.
From the graph you provided, it appears there are two distinct discontinuities. Discontinuities typically occur at:
- Jumps: Where the function suddenly "jumps" from one value to another.
- Asymptotes: Where the function approaches infinity or negative infinity.
- Holes: Points where the function is undefined or not connected.
From the graph, the discontinuities seem to occur at the following -values:
- At : There seems to be a jump discontinuity. The graph breaks and jumps from one point to another at this value.
- At : There seems to be another discontinuity. The curve has a break or sudden change in direction at this value.
So, the function is discontinuous at and .
Would you like further explanation on this or have any other questions? Here are some related questions you might consider:
- What are the types of discontinuities?
- How do we mathematically define a jump discontinuity?
- What conditions must be met for a function to be continuous at a point?
- How can we find discontinuities algebraically?
- Can a function have an infinite number of discontinuities?
Tip: When analyzing a graph for discontinuities, always check for breaks, jumps, and undefined points.
