Continuity

A. Given the graphs below, identify all the points of discontinuities and specify its type of
discontinuity.
B. Use the definition of continuity of a function at a number (three conditions) in determining
whether f(x) is continuous or discontinuous at x. Include your whole solutions. (3 points each)
