Select the correct answer below:
The function f(x) is continuous at x = 1.
The right limit does not equal the left limit. Therefore, the function is not continuous.
The function f(x) is discontinuous at x = 1.
We cannot tell if the function is continuous or discontinuous.

Define a vector ♬ to be a column vector.

For example, 2 2 = ● √₁ + √2 is equal to a new vector with elements equal to the elementwise addition of ₁ and 2.
