The property that is being described in the statement "The sum of the components of anything equals the whole thing" would be the Partition Postulate. It is simply the whole is equal to the sum of its parts. For instance we have a line where it contains points W, X, Y and Z, then WX + XY + YZ = WZ.

Explain why the function is discontinuous at the given number

Blizzard [7]

For $f$ to be continuous at $x=5$ , we need to have

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to5}f(x)=f(5)$

Note that $x\to5$ means that $x\neq5$ , but that $x$ is *approaching* 5. We're told that for $x\neq5$ , we have

$f(x)=\dfrac{x^2-5x}{x^2-25}$

We can write

$\dfrac{x^2-5x}{x^2-25}=\dfrac{x(x-5)}{(x+5)(x-5)}=\dfrac x{x+5}$

and the limit would be

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to5}\frac x{x+5}=\dfrac5{5+5}=\dfrac5{10}=\dfrac12\neq1=f(5)$

and so $f$ is discontinuous.
