Activity #2: Continuity, Asymptote and Derivative of a Function

Name: __________________________________ Course/Yr/Block: __________

Intended Learning Outcome:

1. To be able to determine whether a function is continuous or discontinuous and determine
the equation of the asymptote(s) of a function.
2. To be able to apply the concept of limits in solving the derivative of a function.
Content/Topics: Continuity, Asymptote and Derivative of a Function
Directions: Solve the following problems on a clean sheet of paper. Show a complete solution
and write legibly. Use ballpens only.

I. Continuity and Asymptote

Find the value(s) of x for which the function is discontinuous.
𝑥+2
1. 𝑦 =
3𝑥 2 −18𝑥+27
5
2. 𝑦 = 𝑥3 −3𝑥2 −10𝑥

3. 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 + 1
Determine the equation of the asymptote(s) of the following function. Sketch the graph (you can
use Desmos application).

2𝑥 2 −2
4. 𝑦 = 2𝑥2 +2
𝑥 2 +1
5. 𝑦 = 5𝑥
2
6. 𝑦 = 𝑥2 −1

II. Derivative of a Function

Find the derivative of the following function:

7. 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥 ) = 3√𝑥
5𝑥 2
8. 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥 ) = 4𝑥−1
