The discontinuity are the point wherein the function is not defined.
The zeros are the points wherein f(x)=0.
Computing the discontinuity points:
Set
x-1=0 then the discontinuity point is at
x=1.
Comptine the zeroes:
Set
3x^2+x-4=0
Compute the discriminant:
1^2-4(3)(-4)=49=7^2.
Then with quadratic formula we get the solutions:

(-1-7)/6=-8/6\\(-1+7)/6=1
The two zeros are
(-8)/(6),1
