Correct answer: A, B, D
We need to find where is discontinuous among the given points.
A function involving can only have possible discontinuities at integers, because is continuous on each interval and jumps at integers.
So we only need to test the given integer points: .
1. Simplify the function on intervals
Let where and . Then so Hence Using periodicity, But since , A cleaner way near an integer is to directly use one-sided values.
2. Check continuity at a general integer
At , So the function value at integer is
Left-hand limit at
For , we have . Thus Taking limit as , Since ,
Right-hand limit at
For , we have . Thus So
Thus at integer :
For continuity, we need which gives So the function is continuous at and discontinuous at every nonzero integer.
3. Test the given options
A:
Here . So discontinuous.
B:
Here . So discontinuous.
C:
Here . Then so continuous.
D:
Here . So discontinuous.
4. Final answer
The function is discontinuous at So the correct options are:
5. Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer: A, B, D
Our derived answer matches it exactly.
