Step 1:

\

The function is \"\"

\

Definition of Continuity:

\

A function \"\" is continuous at a number \"image\",

\

(1) \"\" is defined.

\

(2) \"\" exists.

\

(3) \"image\".

\

 The function \"\" is continuous for

\

Consider \"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\" and \"\"

\

Hence \"\".

\

The function is discontinuous at \"\".

\

Solution:

\

The function is discontinuous at \"\".

\

 

\

 

\

Step 1:

\

The function is \"\"

\

Definition of Continuity:

\

A function \"\" is continuous at a number \"image\",

\

(1) \"\" is defined.

\

(2) \"\" exists.

\

(3) \"image\".

\

 The function \"\" is continuous for all values of \"\".

\

 The function \"\" is continuous for all values of \"\".

\

The function \"\" is continuous for all values of \"\".

\

Consider left hand limit at \"\"

\

\"\"

\

Cancel the common terms.

\

\"\"

\

Consider right hand limit at \"\"

\

\"\"

\

As the right hand limit and the left hand limit are equal, limit exists at \"\".

\

\"\".

\

Step 2:

\

Consider left hand limit at \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Consider right hand limit at \"\"

\

\"\"

\

As the right hand limit and the left hand limit are equal, limit exists at \"\".

\

\"\".

\

The function is continuous for all values of \"\".

\

Solution:

\

The function is continuous for all values of \"\".
