Answer

Not continuous

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x-3}$ We use the continuity checklist to determine if $f$ is continuous in $a=3$: 1) Determine the function's domain: $x−3\not=0$ $x\not=3$ D=[2,∞) a=1 is not in the function's domain, therefore f is not defined for a=1. $D=(-\infty,3)\cup(3,\infty)$ As the condition 1 is not satisfied, the function is not continuous in $a=3$.
