Mathematics20272 marksShort answer
Observe the graph given below:
Discontinuity Graph
Discontinuity Graph
(a)[1.0]
State the value(s) of $x$ where the function has removable discontinuity.
(b)[1.0]
State the value(s) of $x$ where the graph of the function is not differentiable.

Answer

Answer (a)

AI
Written by AI - it can contain mistakes.
At $x = -2$, the function has a removable discontinuity because $\lim_{x \to -2^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to -2^+} f(x) = 2$ (both one-sided limits exist and are equal), but $f(-2)$ is undefined.

Final answer: -2

Answer (b)

AI
Written by AI - it can contain mistakes.
The graph of the function is not differentiable at $x = -2, 0, 2$ because it is discontinuous at these points (discontinuity at $x = -2$ is removable, and at $x = 0$ and $x = 2$ there are jump discontinuities).
