Question
Consider the following. See Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
f(x) = 
x3 − 8
x − 2
The x y-coordinate plane is given. The curve enters the window in the second quadrant, goes down and right becoming less steep, changes direction at the point (−1, 3), goes up and right becoming more steep, crosses the y-axis at y = 4, passes through the point (2, 12) marked with an open circle, and exits the window in the first quadrant.
Describe the interval(s) on which the function is continuous. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)
 
 
 
Identify any discontinuities. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)
x = 
 
 
 
If the function has any discontinuities, identify the conditions of continuity that are not satisfied. (Select all that apply. Select each choice if it is met for any of the discontinuities.)
There is a discontinuity at x = c where f(c) is not defined.
There is a discontinuity at x = c where lim x→c f(x) ≠ f(c).
There is a discontinuity at x = c where lim x→c f(x) does not exist.
There are no discontinuities; f(x) is continuous.
