@TheWaffleMan149

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh geez, ok, Im in calc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you mean differentiable?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhh i dont think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its just asking if it is continuous

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. So in order to find that, I think you have to take the right and left hand limits at x=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And if they don't match, then it is has a discontinuity at x=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also, if they match, and f(x) is a different value from the two limits

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the top one doesnt match, but the bottom one does

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because 16 >3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, what??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I meant if the left hand limit is a different value from the right hand one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh nevermind i made it more difficult haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Been there, done that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahaha so it would be continuous

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do the limits approach the same value?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait , no they dont

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what does that mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so they are not continuos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are actually solving these, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a pretest, so i havnt learned anything yet, but your help is helping me like introduce it (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah hahaha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol, well Im sure your teacher will be able to explain it better than I can, so I would wait until you learn it in class
