Which of the following statements is true about the function f(x) = 1/x^2?

A.A) The function has an infinite discontinuity at x = 0.
B.B) The function has a removable discontinuity at x = 0.
C.D) The function has no discontinuities.
D.C) The function is continuous on the entire real line.

Explanation

Core Concept

The function f(x) = 1/x^2 has an infinite discontinuity at x = 0 because as x approaches 0, the function approaches infinity. This is the primary reason the function has an infinite discontinuity at x = 0. Option A is correct because the function has an infinite discontinuity at x = 0. Option B is incorrect because the discontinuity is not removable. Option C is incorrect because the function is not continuous at x = 0. Option D is incorrect because the function has an infinite discontinuity.

Correct Answer

A
