    The document discusses continuity and discontinuity in functions. It provides examples of functions that are discontinuous, like 1/x which has a vertical asymptote at x=0, making it undefined. It also gives an example of a continuous function, like x^2, which has no gaps, jumps, or asymptotes. Additionally, it states that the function f(x)=x is continuous at x=1 because it satisfies the conditions of the continuity test where the limit and the function value must exist and be equal at that point. It concludes with defining a continuous function as one where all the conditions of the continuity test are met, and a discontinuous function fails to meet at least one condition.

    1.

    The graph of has a vertical asymptote or nonremovable


    discontinuities. This tells us that there is a value or values of x at which f(x)
    doesn't exist.

    2. If we substituted x=0 to 1/x, it would become 1/0, making it undefined. If we make


    this function into a graph, it is considered an example of an infinite discontinuity
    as it has a vertical asymptote. Both of the one-sided limits also go toward infinity.
    Based on all of these observations, the graph is not continuous.

    3. The graph of does not have any gaps, jumps, or vertical


    asymptotes in it which makes it an example of a continuous curve.
    4. The graph of is continuous at x=1. Based on the graph, it
    satisfies all the conditions of the continuity test. Both f(a) and the limits exist and
    are equal. f(1)=1 and lim x->1=1.

    5. A function is said to be continuous if the conditions of the continuity test are all
    met. If one of these conditions are not satisfied, then the function is
    discontinuous.
    The conditions of the continuity test are the following:
    - f(a) exists
    - lim f(x) exists
    𝑥→𝑎
    - lim f(x) = f(a)
    𝑥→𝑎
