A discontinuity is a point that cannot exist because the x-coordinate would cause a problem in the equation. If you have a polynomial in the denominator, you must find which values of x would cause the polynomial in the denominator to evaluate to zero. Since division by zero is undefined, that would cause a discontinuity.

Let's look at your function.

f(x) = \dfrac{x^2 - 16}{6x - 24}

x^2 - 16  is in the numerator. It is defined for every value of x. There is no problem there.

6x - 24  is in the denominator. This is a function defined for every value of x, but since it is in the denominator, we must exclude the x-value that would cause this polynomial to evaluate to zero.

We set it equal to zero and solve the equation for x.

6x - 24 = 0

6x = 24

x = 4

For x = 0, the denominator has a value of zero, so at this point there is a discontinuity in function f(x).

The answer is:

x \ne 4

A circle has a circumference of 18. It has an arc of length 6. What is the central angle of the arc, in degrees?
nadya68 [22]
Circumference: 2πr C=18 so r= 18/2π= 9π

Arc length = rθ 6=(9π)θ θ=6/9π

Convert to degrees by multiplying by 180/π

6/9π x 180/π = 120 degrees
