Continuous, Discontinuous, and Piecewise Functions

We know a lot about functions now, so let's look at some special cases where functions get weird and jump around.

    2:45 - so... (x^2-1)/x-1 = x-1 but x cannot equal 1 for the first case but CAN be 1 for the second case of function. Wouldn't that mean that we are "wrong" when we say (x^2-1)/x-1 = x-1??? i'm confused...

    Dave, isn't the function 1 / x - 1 not graphed as it should be? For example, if you plug x = 2, y gives back 1, and the coordinate (2, 1) is not in the curve.

    The function is (x^2-1)/(x-1) by default hence, 1 is a point of discontinuity. But, if the function is x-1, there is no restricted domain, i.e x€R. Hope this helps you :)

    because if x is equal to 1 then we get x^2 - 1/1-1 which here 1-1 makes the denominator = to 0 meaning the function will become undefined and the function would be discontinuous Hope this helped :)

  • @jonykhan4395

    Good explanation. If a function is discontinuous then why we call it A FUNCTION ANYMORE? it is in the definition of a function that its all domain members MUST have unique image But one of the domain members does not have value then Why call it a function?? If the function is producing Irrational numbers then is it a continuous or discontinuous? if a function outputs Infinity it will be a continuous or discontinuous? if a function outputs a non-terminating value it will be a continuous or discontinuous? if a function outputs indeterminate forms type values is it a continuers or discontinuous?

    Sorry professor, but I disagree with 2:55 . 0/0 is not undefined, it is indeterminate. Not the same. 0/0 can actually be anything we want, as any real number can be the solution to the equation "0x = 0". Therefore, since "(x-1)/(x-1)" CAN be 1 for all real values including 1, it can be safely simplified without having to exclude 1. If I'm wrong and you have the time to explain this to me, please do.

    Nope, you can't do 0/0 simply because you can't divide by 0 because this implies that 0 has an inverse which is false. Because if there's an x such that 0x = 1 that's absurde because for all x, 0x = 0. so for all x, x/0 is undefined in particular, 0/0 is undefined. We talk about indeterminate when we are dealing with limits (which we were not in this case)
