A function is said to have a
removable
discontinuity at if:
1.
is either not defined or not continuous at .
2.
could either be defined or redefined so that the new function is continuous at .
Let
Show that has a removable discontinuity at and determine what value for would make continuous at .
Must redefine
.
Hint: Try combining the fractions and simplifying.
The discontinuity at is not a removable discontinuity, just in case you were wondering.
