Continuous, discontinuous and piece-wise function

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the identification and understanding of continuous, discontinuous, and piece-wise functions, including the types of discontinuities and their characteristics. The scope includes conceptual clarification and potential homework-related inquiries.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests help in determining the equations needed to complete an activity.
  • Another participant questions whether the requester has attempted any solutions or approaches.
  • A participant expresses uncertainty about where to start with the problem.
  • A later post inquires about the three types of discontinuities in functions.
  • One participant comments on a perceived inconsistency regarding the requirement for two continuous points, suggesting that the function in question could have infinitely many points of continuity, and speculates that the instruction may refer to specific break points being continuous.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion shows a lack of consensus, with participants expressing different levels of understanding and uncertainty regarding the topic of continuous and discontinuous functions.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided specific definitions or examples of discontinuities, and there are unresolved questions about the requirements for continuity in the context of the activity.

What are the three types of discontinuites?

It is very strange that this says "should have two continuous point(s)". This function will necessarily have infinitely many points of continuity! I presume it means that two of the five break points are to be points of continuity.
