The set of all points where the function \(f(x) = \frac{x}{x^{2}-4}, x \in \mathbb{R}\) , is discontinuous, is

  • A.{0,2}
  • B.{0,4}
  • C.{0,-2,2}
  • D.{2,4}
  • E.{-2,2}

Answer: E

The function is discontinuous at {-2, 2}.

A rational function is continuous wherever its denominator is non-zero. Here \(x^{2} - 4 = 0\) at x = 2 and x = -2, where f is not defined, so these are the points of discontinuity.

At x = 0 the numerator is zero but the denominator is -4, so f(0) = 0 and f is continuous there; any option including 0 is wrong. {2, 4} and {0, 2} miss the root -2.
