guys what type of discontinuity does this function have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (wmj259):

This is what my Calculus-1 teacher taught me about discontinuities. Discontinuities are when you are drawing any function and THE MOMENT THAT YOU LIFT YOUR PENCIL, that is a discontinuity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh i see

OpenStudy (wmj259):

Im not yelling at you, but I'm putting emphasis on the keywords. :)

OpenStudy (wmj259):

What math level is this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

college calculus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

level 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont see a single function.... There are more than one function??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is only 1 function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no two graphs are plotted.. f(x)=x+3 and another one.. check the picture.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x|x^2-4| / x^2 - 3x + 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the other is y = x + 3 which is the asymptote of that graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh its a removable discontinuity.. You need to define the function suitably at the points x=2 and x=-2 to make it continuous

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah im thinking removeable, but the graph clearly shows there is a jump there, in a little bit confused

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

at x=1 it has an infinite discontinuity at x=2 it has a jump discontinuity (i don't know if these r the correct names in english)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at x=1 and at x=2 infinite discontinuities.. How is the jump discontinuity coming @ helder?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm i see thanks,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg yeah it's jump discontinuity, the behaviour resembles abs(x)/x where there is jump discontinuity
