Exercise · ZW-COMPLEX-CONTINUITY-001 · ★☆☆ Basic
At which points is \(f(z)=\dfrac{1}{z-2}\) continuous?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- C. On \(\mathbb{C}\setminus\{2\}\)
Explanation
It is a quotient of continuous functions whose denominator vanishes only at \(z=2\), outside the domain; it is continuous on its whole domain \(\mathbb{C}\setminus\{2\}\).
Review the concept: Complex continuity
A function \(f\) is continuous at a point \(z_0\) of its domain if \(f(z)\) tends to the value \(f(z_0)\) as \(z\) tends to \(z_0\); it is continuous if it is so at every point of its domain.
\[\lim_{z\to z_0}f(z)=f(z_0)\]
