Question

Locate the points of discontinuity in the piecewise function shown below.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The given piecewise function i

From the given function it is clear that function is divided at x=-1 and x=2. It means we check the discontinuity at x=-1 and x=2.

For x=-1,

LHL:

Since LHL ≠ f(-1), therefore the given function is discontinuous at x=-1.

For x=2,

LHL:

Since LHL ≠ f(2), therefore the given function is discontinuous at x=2.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
