Continue one's studies by studying discontinuities. The 11th of 18 lessons in Unit 1 - Limits and Continuity first describes the different types of discontinuities. By watching a video, pupils learn to algebraically determine the locations of any removable discontinuities (holes) and nonremovable discontinuities in the form of vertical asymptotes for rational functions.
