Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following functions is not continuous at x = 0?
  • Step 1: Understand what continuity means. A function is continuous at a point if you can draw it without lifting your pencil at that point.
  • Step 2: Identify the point we are checking for continuity, which is x = 0 in this case.
  • Step 3: Look at the function f(x) = 1/x. Check if it is defined at x = 0.
  • Step 4: Notice that when you try to substitute x = 0 into the function f(x) = 1/x, you get 1/0, which is undefined.
  • Step 5: Since the function is not defined at x = 0, it cannot be continuous there.
