Solution: since
The numerator also approaches 0 as x approaches −3, and 0/0
is meaningless. For x ≠ − 3 we can, however, simplify the
function by rewriting the fraction as

Find all values of x where the piecewise function is discontinuous.
Solution: Since each piece of this function is a polynomial, the
only x-values where f might be discontinuous here are 0 and 3.
We investigate at x = 0 first. From the left, where x-values are less
than 0,
From the right, where x-values are greater than 0

Because
the limit does not exist, so f is discontinuous at x = 0 regardless
of the value of f(0).
Now let us investigate at x = 3.
Thus, f is continuous at x = 3.
