Limit – the intended height of a function continuous at x = –4 point discontinuity at x = 0 jump discontinuity at x = 2
infinite discontinuity at x = –3 When does this happen algebraically?
A denominator can never be zero. Therefore…. Rational Function – A quotient of polynomials such that the denominator has a degree of at least 1. A denominator can never be zero. Therefore…. f(x) is discontinuous at x = –2 and x = –3 g(x) is discontinuous at x = –1 and x = –3 h(x) is discontinuous at x = 2 and x = –1 What type of discontinuity exists?
f(x) is discontinuous at x = –2 and x = –3 Any limit resulting in indicates a point discontinuity. f(x) is discontinuous at x = –2 and x = –3 There is a point discontinuity at (–2, 1). There is a hole in the graph at (–2, 1).
f(x) is discontinuous at x = –2 and x = –3 Any limit resulting in indicates an infinite discontinuity. There is a vertical asymptote in the graph at x = –3. To determine the behavior of the graph, we substitute values close to x = –3 on each side. f(x) is discontinuous at x = –2 and x = –3
