The absolute value takes away the negative sign if there is one. And leaves it alone if there is no negative sign. But if we apply Angelique's way to find an absolute value that would make, say,  |10| = -10. But that is incorrect because all absolute values do is make the positive. Even if it's already positive.

Locate the points of discontinuity in the piecewise function shown below.
algol13

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given piecewise function i

From the given function it is clear that function is divided at x=-1 and x=2. It means we check the discontinuity at x=-1 and x=2.

For x=-1,

LHL:  

Since LHL ≠ f(-1), therefore the given function is discontinuous at x=-1.

For x=2,

LHL:  

Since LHL ≠ f(2), therefore the given function is discontinuous at x=2.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
