Answer

The function $ f\left( x \right)=c $ is not discontinuous for any number.

Work Step by Step

Consider the rational function $ f\left( x \right)=c $, Here, $ p\left( x \right)=c\text{ and }q\left( x \right)=1$ $ p\left( x \right)=c $ is a constant function and a constant function is continuous for every number x. Now, find the zeros of the function $ q\left( x \right)=1$ by substituting $ q\left( x \right)=0$, That is, $1=0$ As $1\ne 0$ so, there is no zero of the function $ q\left( x \right)=1$. Thus, the function $ f\left( x \right)=c $ is not discontinuous for any number.
