Homework Statement

Let f be the function defined on the real line by

<br /> f(x)= <br /> \begin{cases} \frac{x}{3} &amp; \text{if $x$ is rational }<br /> \\<br /> \frac{x}{4} &amp;\text{if $x$ is irrational.}<br /> \end{cases}<br />

Let D be the set of points of discontinuities of f. What is D?

Well, perhaps it would be good if you would first try to "plot" the function. You can't plot it accurately, but you can get an idea. What does the plot look like? What can you conclude?

Ok I got it, D is the entire real number set excluding 0.

Yep, that's it!
