A. Determine whether each given function is continuous at every real number. Explain your answer.
B. Discuss the continuity of each function. Give the intervals in which the function is continuous and, if
possible, identify the real numbers in which the function is not continuous.
C. Use the three conditions of continuity to check if each given function is continuous at the given value of
x.
D. Sketch the graph of each function using a graphing utility software. By observing each graph, give the
real number(s) c in which the graph is not continuous. Verify your answer using the three conditions of
continuity.
