Question: A function f ( x ) f ( x ) is said to have a jump discontinuity at x = ax = a if: 1

A function f(x)f(x) is said to have a jump discontinuity at x=ax=a if:
1. limxaf(x)limxa-f(x) exists.
2. limxa+f(x)limxa+f(x) exists.
3. The left and right limits are not equal.
Let f(x)={5x5ifx<91x+6ifx9f(x)={5x-5ifx<91x+6ifx9
Show that f(x)f(x) has a jump discontinuity at x=9x=9 by calculating the limits from the left and right at x=9x=9.
limx9f(x)=limx9-f(x)=40Correct
limx9+f(x)=limx9+f(x)=559Incorrect
