Answer

f is continuous on its domain.

Work Step by Step

The function f is said to be continuous on its domain if it is continuous at each point in its domain. A discontinuity can occur at $x=a$ if either a. $\displaystyle \lim_{\mathrm{x}\rightarrow a}f(x)$ does not exist, or b. $\displaystyle \lim_{\mathrm{x}\rightarrow a}f(x)$ exists but is not equal to $f(a)$. At endpoints of the domain (if any), we observe the existence of the left or right limit, as appropriate. ---------------------- The domain of f is open, no endpoints. Searching for discontinuities ... there are none ( no "breaks" or "holes" in the graph). f is continuous on its domain.
