Question

Identify the discontinuity for the following function as either a jump or a removable discontinuity.

f(x) `{:(= x^2 + 3x - 2",",  "for"  x ≤ 4),(= 5x + 3",",  "for"  x > 4):}`

Sum

Solution

`lim_(x -> 4^+) f(x) =  lim_(x -> 4) (5x + 3)`

= 5(4) + 3

= 23

`lim_(x -> 4^-) f(x) =  lim_(x -> 4) (x^2 + 3x - 2)`

= 16 + 3(4) – 2

= 26

`lim_(x -> 4^+) f(x) ≠ lim_(x -> 4^-) f(x)`

∴ `lim_(x -> 4) f(x)` does not exist

∴ f has a jump discontinuity at x = 4.
