Rational Function Discontinuity

Define discontinuity.

• Is a function that contains a hole, jump or break in its graph.

• Is a function that is not continuous.

• Is a function that has x-values that are restricted from the domain.

• Is a function's graph that contains holes or vertical asymptotes.

These are the factors left in the numerator after the rational function is simplified. They are the point(s) that cross the x-axis and have a y-value of 0.

• holes

• vertical asymptotes

• x-intercepts

• points
