Math Problem Statement

Find the point c at which the function has a jump discontinuity but is right-continuous.

Solution

The problem asks to find the point cc at which the function has a jump discontinuity but is right-continuous.

Looking at the graph, the key characteristic of a jump discontinuity is a sudden "jump" in the value of the function. This means the function has a different value from the left and right at a certain point. Moreover, right-continuity means that the function approaches the same value from the right side.

Analysis:

  • At x=2x = 2, there is a jump. The function approaches y=3y = 3 from the right side, but it has a different value (around y=1y = 1) from the left. This indicates a jump discontinuity at x=2x = 2, and the function is right-continuous here because as xx approaches 2 from the right, the value of the function approaches y=3y = 3.

Thus, the point cc where the function has a jump discontinuity and is right-continuous is c=2c = 2.

Tip: A jump discontinuity means that the limits from the left and right are different at a specific point, but the function can still be continuous from one side (right or left).
