Using continuity concepts, it is found that the correct options are:

  • The function is continuous at x = -4.
  • The function has an infinite discontinuity at x = -1.

-----------------------------

A function f(x) is continuous at x = a if:

[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(x) = f(a)[/tex]

-----------------------------

  • At x = -4, there are no changes in the definition of the function, thus, it is continuous.
  • At x = -1, we have that:

[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow -1^-} f(x) = 0[/tex]

[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow -1^+} f(x) = f(1) = 1[/tex]

  • A different definition depending on the which side of -1 the function is, thus, it is a jump discontinuity.
