Discontinuous function
Define a discontinuous function and state the conditions for discontinuity.
Find whether the following functions are discontinuous: f(x)=1/x and f(x)=(x)^(1/2)
Solve the following:(involves jump discontinuity)
A tomato wholesaler finds that the price of newly harvested tomatoes is $16 per pound if he purchases fewer than 100 pounds each day. However, if he purchases at least 100 pounds daily, the price drops to $14 per pound. Find the total cost function.
This shows how to determine if functions are discontinuous and solves a problem using jump discontinuity.
