Answer

$ y $ is continuous in the domain $ R-\{1,3\}$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ y=\frac{x+1}{x^2-4x+3}$$ Find the zeros of the denominator $ x^2-4x+3=0 \Rightarrow (x-3)(x-1)=0\\$ $ \Rightarrow (x-3)=0 \Rightarrow x=3$ $ \Rightarrow (x-1)=0\Rightarrow x=1$ So, $ y $ is continuous in the domain $ R-\{1,3\}$ (All values except 1 and 3).
