Question 12 The function f (x) = (4 āˆ’ š‘„^2)/(4š‘„ āˆ’š‘„^3 ) is (A) discontinuous at only one point (B) discontinuous at exactly two points (C) discontinuous at exactly three points (D) none of these f(x) = (4 āˆ’ š‘„^(2 ) )/(4š‘„ āˆ’ š‘„^3 ) = (2^2 āˆ’ š‘„^(2 ) )/(š‘„(4 āˆ’ š‘„^2)) = ((šŸ āˆ’ š’™)(šŸ + š’™))/(š’™(šŸ āˆ’ š’™)(šŸ + š’™)) If we cancel out (2 āˆ’ š‘„) and (2 + š‘„) Then, we have to assume that x ≠ 2, and x ≠ āˆ’2 So, our f(x) becomes f(x) = šŸ/š’™ This function is not defined for x = 0 Thus, f(x) is defined for all points except x = 0, 2, āˆ’2 ∓ f(x) is discontinuous at exactly 3 points So, the correct answer is (C)
