Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around identifying the x values where the function f(x) = 1/(x^2 + 1) is not continuous and determining if any discontinuities are removable. Participants note that the denominator, x^2 + 1, cannot equal zero, indicating there are no discontinuities in the function. The conclusion drawn is that the function is continuous everywhere. There is a consensus that the problem was likely stated correctly, affirming the function's continuity. Overall, the function has no removable discontinuities.

Homework Statement

Find the x values if any for which x is not continuous.Which of the dicontinuities are removable?

Homework Equations

f(x)=1/(x^2+1)

The Attempt at a Solution

Its unfactorable at the bottom ,i tried to factor it.Would this mean there are no discontinuities?

Are you sure you wrote down the problem correctly. It is undefined when the denominator is zero but x^2 + 1 is never zero. Or maybe the answer is that it is continuous everywhere.
 
thanks
 

Thread 'Distance between a Clock's hands when the distance is increasing most rapidly'

Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
