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

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

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.

wait its x^2 + 6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so graph is continous eveywhere
OpenStudy (watchmath):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its a straight line
OpenStudy (watchmath):
good
