Question
For the following exercise, determine the point(s), if any, at which the function is discontinuous. Classify any discontinuity as jump, removable, infinite, or other.
Solution
VerifiedStep 1
1 of 2The domain of the function is
The function is a rational function, thus continuous everywhere on its domain. Since 0 and 1 are not in the domain, the function is discontinuous at these points. Lets classify these discontinuities
- Since
we see that the function has a $\text{\color{#4257b2} removable discontinuity at 0. \color{default}
- Since $$ \lim_{x \to 1^\pm} \dfrac{x}{x^2-x} = \lim_{x \to 1^\pm} \dfrac{1}{x-1} = \dfrac{1}{\text{ } 0^\pm} = \pm \infty, $$ we conclude that the function has an \color{#4257b2} infinite discontinuity at 1. }$
