Practice for Points of Interest - Discontinuities.
Consider the following graph.
Does the above graph have any hole discontinuities?
YesNo
What is the approximate -value of the hole?
A hole is the type of discontinuity that
is a single missing point in an otherwise continuous graph. This may not look like it
quite right (another example of graphing being misleading, but not on purpose this
time) but the -value is actually .
Is there a jump discontinuity?
YesNo
What is the approximate -value of the jump discontinuity?
A jump discontinuity is
the type of discontinuity that has a finite vertical jump between the end points.
Is there an infinite discontinuity?
YesNo
What is the approximate -value of the infinite discontinuity?
An infinite
discontinuity is the type of discontinuity that has a vertical asymptote.
