Answer

  1. (a) f has removable discontinuity.
Solution:

f(3) = 4

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow3}\text{f}(\text{x})=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow3}\frac{\text{x}^2-9}{\text{x}-3}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow3}\frac{(\text{x}+3)(\text{x}-3)}{(\text{x}-3)}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow3}(\text{x}+3)=6\because\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow3}\text{f}(\text{x})\neq\text{f}(3)$

$\therefore$ f(x) has removable discontinuity at x = 3.
  1. (c) f has irremovable discontinuit.
Solution:

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4^-}\text{f}(\text{x})=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4}(\text{x}+2)=4+2=6$

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4^+}\text{f}(\text{x})=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4}(\text{x}+4)=4+4=8$

$\therefore\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4^-}\text{f}(\text{x})\neq\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow4^+}\text{f}(\text{x})$

$\therefore$ f(x) has an irremovable discontinuity at x = 4.
  1. (a) f has removable discontinuity.
Solution:

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow2}\text{f}(\text{x})=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow2}\frac{(\text{x}^2-4)}{(\text{x}-2)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow2}(\text{x}+2)=4$

and f(2) = 5 (given) $\therefore\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow2}\text{f}(\text{x})\neq\text{f}(2)$

$\therefore$ f(x) has removable discontinuity at x = 2.
  1. (c) f has irremovable discontinuity.
Solution:

f(0) = 2

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^-}\text{f}(\text{x})=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{x}+\text{x}}{\text{x}}=2$

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^+}\text{f}(\text{x})=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{x}-\text{x}}{\text{x}}=0$

$\because\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^-}\text{f}(\text{x})\neq\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0^+}\text{f}(\text{x})$

$\therefore$ f(x) has an irremovable discontinuity at x = 0.
  1. (d) f has removable discontinuity.
Solution:

f(0) = 7

$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\text{f}(\text{x})=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{e}^\text{x}-1}{\log(1+2\text{x})}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\frac{\Big(\frac{\text{e}^\text{x}-1}{\text{x}}\Big)}{\frac{\log(1+2\text{x})}{2\text{x}}\cdot2}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\because\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\text{f}(\text{x})\neq\text{f}(0)$

$\therefore$ f(x) has removable discontinuity at x = 0.
