Question(s)
- Determine the point at which the function $f(x)=(x−13)^{-1}$ is discontinuous. State the type of discontinuity from options
- both left‑continuous and right‑continuous
- neither left‑continuous nor right‑continuous
- right‑continuous but not left‑continuous
- left‑continuous but not right‑continuous
and whether the function is left‑ or right‑continuous.
My Thought Process
For 1a, at first I entered $c=1$, but it says it was wrong because that was for "left continuous" so I think it is $c=5$ for right discontinuous. Is this correct?
I am kind of confused in 1b, because is it asking for $f(5)$? If so, then I think the answer is $f(c) = 4$, but please correct and explain the right answer if I am wrong.
For 2, Obviously this is an infinite discontinuity at $x=13$, but I'm not sure if infinite discontinuities can be left and right continuous. I think the answer is neither left and right continuous because when graphed, there is a vertical asymptote $x=13$. But is this correct?
