00:01 For the following problem, we want to identify any discontinuities.
00:04 So in this case, we have the cubed root, or we could just say y equals 2x minus 1 to the 1 3rd.
00:13 Same thing.
00:15 This does not have any discontinuities because we can plug in any value of x, and any values will come out positive or negative.
00:23 So this is a continuous function.
00:25 However, if we consider the absolute value of x over x, we know that if x equals 0, there will be a discontinuity.
00:35 And we see that based on the graph as well as any limits that we consider that this will be a jump discontinuity...
