Question
A function f(x) is said to have a removable discontinuity at a = a if:
1. f is either not defined or not continuous at z = a.
2. f(a) could either be defined or redefined so that the new function IS continuous at = a.

if a + 0 and æ + 1
Let f(x) =
if x = 0
Show that f(x) has a removable discontinuity at æ = 0 and determine what value for f(0) would
make f(x) continuous at a = 0.
Must redefine f(0) =
