Identify a Point of Discontinuity A. Determine whether the function is continuous at x

Identify a Point of Discontinuity A. Determine whether the function is continuous at x = 1. Justify using the continuity test. If discontinuous, identify the type of discontinuity as infinite, jump, or removable. 1. Because is undefined, f (1) does not exist.

Identify a Point of Discontinuity 2. Investigate function values close to f(1). The pattern

Identify a Point of Discontinuity 2. Investigate function values close to f(1). The pattern of outputs suggests that for values of x approaching 1 from the left, f (x) becomes increasingly more negative. For values of x approaching 1 from the right, f (x) becomes increasing more positive. Therefore, does not exist.

Identify a Point of Discontinuity 3. Because f (x) decreases without bound as x

Identify a Point of Discontinuity 3. Because f (x) decreases without bound as x approaches 1 from the left and f (x) increases without bound as x approaches 1 from the right, f (x) has an infinite discontinuity at x = 1. The graph of f (x) supports this conclusion. Answer: f (x) has an infinite discontinuity at x = 1.

Identify a Point of Discontinuity B. Determine whether the function is continuous at x

Identify a Point of Discontinuity B. Determine whether the function is continuous at x = 2. Justify using the continuity test. If discontinuous, identify the type of discontinuity as infinite, jump, or removable. 1. Because is undefined, f (2) does not exist. Therefore f (x) is discontinuous at x = 2.
