Grade 12 Math Worksheet - Challenge Me

NameDate

Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

  1. A bike rental charges $3 for each started hour. C(t) is the cost at t hours. Ari asks what the graph does at t = 2. Which describes it?

    • a hole at t = 2
    • continuous at t = 2
    • a jump at t = 2
  2. A cart rolls along a track. s(t) is its position at t seconds. Bo asks what the graph does at t = 3. Which describes it?

    • continuous at t = 3
    • a jump at t = 3
    • a hole at t = 3
  3. A library fine is $0.25 for each started day late. F(t) is the fine at t days. Esme asks what the graph does at t = 4. Which describes it?

    • continuous at t = 4
    • a hole at t = 4
    • a jump at t = 4
  4. The air warms through the morning. T(t) is the temperature at t hours after dawn. Jun asks what the graph does at t = 6. Which describes it?

    • a hole at t = 6
    • a jump at t = 6
    • continuous at t = 6
  5. Kira graphs f(x) = (x − 1)/((x − 1)(x − 2)(x − 8)) for x from -5 to 5. Separated by commas, at which x-values in that window is f not continuous?

  6. Noah graphs f(x) = (x + 1)/((x + 1)(x + 4)(x − 2)) for x from -6 to 0. Separated by commas, at which x-values in that window is f not continuous?

  7. f(x) = (x² + 3x − 10)/(x − 2) has a hole at x = 2. Pia defines f(2) to make f continuous. What value should f(2) be?

  8. f(x) = (x² − 2x − 3)/(x − 3) has a hole at x = 3. Ren defines f(3) to make f continuous. What value should f(3) be?

  9. f(x) = (x² + 7x + 10)/(x + 2) has a hole at x = -2. Tala defines f(-2) to make f continuous. What value should f(-2) be?

  10. f(x) = (x² + 2x − 24)/(x − 4) has a hole at x = 4. Zee defines f(4) to make f continuous. What value should f(4) be?

About this worksheet

Continuity: reading graphs. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can name a break in a graph as a hole, a jump or an asymptote.
  • I can test continuity at a point with the three checks, and on an interval.
  • I can find where a formula is not continuous, and fill a hole.

Standard: none (beyond CCSS)

Words to know

continuous at a: The pen passes through x = a without lifting.

three-part test: f(a) is defined, the limit exists, and they are equal.

removable (hole): A break fixed by filling in one point.

Common mistakes

Mixed up a hole and a jump. At a hole both sides meet at one height with a point missing; at a jump the two sides land at different heights.

Mixed up a hole and an asymptote. A hole is one missing point; an asymptote runs off without bound.

Mixed up a jump and an asymptote. A jump lands on a new height; an asymptote never lands.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with is it continuous? reading graphs?

Mixed up a hole and a jump. At a hole both sides meet at one height with a point missing; at a jump the two sides land at different heights.
