Find all points of discontinuity of f, where f is defined by

The given function is

The function f is defined at all points of the real line.


Let k be the point on a real line.


Then, we have 5 cases i.e., k < -3, k = -3, -3 < k < 3, k = 3 or k > 3


Now, Case I: k < -3


Then, f(k) = -k + 3


= -k + 3= f(k)


Thus,


Hence, f is continuous at all real number x < -3.


Case II: k = -3


f(-3) = -(-3) + 3 = 6


=-(-3) + 3 = 6


= -2×(-3) = 6



Hence, f is continuous at x = -3.


Case III: -3 < k < 3


Then, f(k) = -2k


= -2k = f(k)


Thus,


Hence, f is continuous in (-3,3).


Case IV: k = 3


= -2×(3) = -6


= 6 × 3 + 2 = 20



Hence, f is not continuous at x = 3.


Case V: k > 3


Then, f(k) = 6k + 2


= 6k + 2= f(k)


Thus,


Hence, f is continuous at all real number x < 3.


Therefore, x = 3 is the only point of discontinuity of f.
