need help with continuity of limits graph posted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

top one is question below one is example

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello

OpenStudy (watchmath):

It seems you didn't understand what I said earlier :). All the limits and f(2)=4 in this case. So the function is continuous.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well here are the tougher q's i dont know if she wants us to graph or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4. Find where the Functions are discontinuous. a. F(x) = x + 3/ x2 – 9 b. F(x) = x + 6/ x2 + 36 c. F(x) = 3x - 6

OpenStudy (watchmath):

Well you can try by sketching the graphs and see where the function has a hole, jump or asymptote.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was thinking factoring the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for a)

OpenStudy (watchmath):

yes that's good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it comes out to 0/x-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am horrible at math i will admit i dont know what to do next

OpenStudy (watchmath):

when you factor you have \(\frac{x+3}{(x+3)(x-3)}\). Remember we can't divide by zero. So the function is undefined at x=-3 and x=3. Then at those points the function is discontinuous.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F(x) = x + 6/ x2 + 36 so for this its at x+6 and x-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so at 6 and -6

OpenStudy (watchmath):

But if you plug in x=-6 or 6 to x^2+6 you won't get zero.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait its x^2 + 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so graph is continous eveywhere

OpenStudy (watchmath):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a straight line

OpenStudy (watchmath):

good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F(x) = 3x - 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same with this one?

OpenStudy (watchmath):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have a good one bro
