1 Types of Discontinuity

1.1 Infinite Discontinuity (verticle asymtote)

Double Sided Limit: does not exist Function: not defined

\(f(x)=\frac{x^2+2}{x^2-4}\ where\ x=2\)

1.2 Jump Discontinuity (gap)

Double Sided Limit: does not exist Function: defined

"a ceiling function" \(f(x) = \left \lceil{x}\right \rceil\ where\ x=3\)

1.3 Point Discountinuity (hole)

Double Sided Limit: exists Function: not defined

\(f(x)=\frac{x^6-1}{x^{10}-1}\ where\ x=1\)


Division by 0/infinite discontinutiy => undefined

Hole => not defined

Sq. Root Functions => not defined when x={negative number}
