Question



"Just need the answer"




2)

Show that

(a) verifying (1) in the definition above, and then

Hint: Try combining the fractions and simplifying.

A function is said to have a removable discontinuity at if both of the following conditions hold:
  1. is either not defined or not continuous at .

  2. could either be defined or redefined so that the new function is continuous at .

Show that

has a removable discontinuity at by

(a) verifying (1) in the definition above, and then

(b) verifying (2) in the definition above by determining a value of that would make continuous at .

would make continuous at .

Hint: Try combining the fractions and simplifying.

The discontinuity at is actually not a removable discontinuity, just in case you were wondering.

f(x) x = a f x = a f(a) x = a f(x) = f(x) x = -5 f(-5) f(x) x = -5 f(-5) = f(x) x = a f x = a f(a) x = a f(x) = x = 0 f(0) f x = 0 f(0) = f x = 0 x = 1

Explanation / Answer

1.   f(-5) =8


2. f(0)= -1
