Q. Which of the following functions are continuous for all real numbers?h(x)=x21g(x)=x2Choose 1 answer:(A) h only(B) g only(C) Both h and g(D) Neither h nor g
Analyzing h(x)=x21: Analyze the function h(x)=x21. Check for points of discontinuity.
Discontinuity at x=0: The function h(x)=x21 has a denominator that can be zero when x=0. This means the function is not defined at x=0 and therefore is not continuous at x=0.
Analyzing g(x)=x2: Analyze the function g(x)=x2. Check for points of discontinuity.
Continuity of g(x): The function g(x)=x2 is a polynomial function. Polynomial functions are continuous everywhere on the real number line.
Conclusion: Since h(x) is not continuous at x=0 and g(x) is continuous everywhere, the function that is continuous for all real numbers is g(x) only.
