Math Problem Statement

From the given graph of g, state the numbers at which g is discontinuous.

Solution

To determine where the function g(x)g(x) is discontinuous based on the graph, we need to observe any breaks, jumps, or holes in the graph.

Discontinuities in the graph:

  1. At x=2x = -2: There is a jump discontinuity, as the graph jumps from one value to another.
  2. At x=0x = 0: The graph has a vertical asymptote, indicating a discontinuity at x=0x = 0.
  3. At x=1x = 1: There is a removable discontinuity (hole), as the graph has a hollow circle at x=1x = 1.

However, you missed one more discontinuity:

  1. At x=3x = 3: The graph also has a discontinuity at x=3x = 3 since there is a break in the graph.

Correct list of discontinuities:

  • x=2,0,1,3x = -2, 0, 1, 3

Let me know if you'd like more details or have any questions!

Here are 5 related questions to explore further:

  1. What types of discontinuities exist (removable, jump, infinite)?
  2. How do we define continuity of a function at a point?
  3. What conditions must be met for a function to be continuous at a point?
  4. How can discontinuities affect the limits of a function?
  5. How can graphing technology assist in identifying discontinuities?

Tip: Always check for breaks, jumps, and hollow circles when determining discontinuities from a graph.
