when f(x) does not exist,is the discontinuity non removable?

OpenStudy (nenadmatematika):

hmmm...weird question I must say....how can you talk about continuity if the function doesn't exist?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perhaps they mean a certain value at which f(x) is not defined?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah @m. carabell

OpenStudy (nenadmatematika):

discontinuity in general can be removable....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The only one that may not be defined on the function f would be infinite, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean, there are three types. Infinite, removable and jump. Jump and removable can still be defined on the function, but infinite is usually caused by a 'divide by zero' issue.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didn't get any infinte in my answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the 1st function i got =(10) defined then check on the right side and the left side and got 10 and 4 but am having problem on identifying when is removable or non-removable

OpenStudy (turingtest):

A removable discontinuity is when the finite limit at a point 'a' exists, but does not equal the value of the function at that point\[\lim_{x \rightarrow a}f(x)\neq f(a)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat of when it does not exist?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

if the limit does not exist at the point in question then the discontinuity is not removable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks
