OpenStudy (anonymous):

from wikipedia: In mathematics, a continuous function is a function for which, intuitively, "small" changes in the input result in "small" changes in the output. Otherwise, a function is said to be a "discontinuous function".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so look for where small changes in input result in large changes in output. everywhere except these places the function will be continuous.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look for where there are huge discontinuities. like wholes in the line or a break on the line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a little blurry to me but when it is a solid dot it means inclussion and you use [] Otherwise a circle meand exclussiong and you use ()

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My answer was (-infinity,2),[2,infinity)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the problem blurry too?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can see it clearly where is the break on the line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i put the break at (2,-10)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where there is a break there is a discontinuity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, i put at (2,-6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the point doesn't matter, just the x-coordinate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2? that's the break right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

Ok thank you xD
