Finding the value/s of x for which a function is discontinuous – Problem 1.5.1

Advertisements

PROBLEM:

Find the value or values of x for which the function is discontinuous.

\large \displaystyle f\left( x \right)=\frac{3x}{x-5}
Advertisements

Solution:

A function \displaystyle f\left( x \right) is continuous at \displaystyle x=a if \displaystyle \lim_{x \to a} f\left( x \right)=f\left( a \right), which implies these three conditions:

  1. \displaystyle f\left( a \right) is defined.
  2. \displaystyle \lim_{x \to a} f\left( x \right)=L exists, and
  3. \displaystyle L=f\left( a \right)

We are given a rational function. A rational function is not defined when the denominator is equal to zero. If we equate the denominator to zero, we can compute the value/s of \displaystyle x where the function is discontinuous.

\begin{align*}
x-5 & = 0 \\
x & = 5 \ \qquad \ \color{DarkOrange} \left( \text{Answer} \right)
\end{align*}

The function is not continuous at \displaystyle x=5.

The graph of the function \displaystyle f\left( x \right)=\frac{3x}{x-5} is drawn below. It can be seen that there is an infinite discontinuity at \displaystyle x=5.

Strength of Materials Problem 101 – Stress in each section of a composite bar

A composite bar consists of an aluminum section rigidly fastened between a bronze section and a steel section as shown in Fig. 1-8a. Axial loads are applied at the positions indicated. Determine the stress in each section.

Strength of Materials by Andrew Pytel and Ferdinand Singer Problem 101
Figure 1.8a

Solution:

We must first determine the axial load in each section to calculate the stresses. The free-body diagrams have been drawn by isolating the portion of the bar lying to the left of imaginary cutting planes. Identical results would be obtained if portions lying to the right of the cutting planes had been considered.

Solve for the internal axial load of the bronze

Free body diagram for the internal axial load of the bronze section for Problem 101 of Strength of Materials by Ferdinand Singer and Andrew Pytel
The free-body diagram of the bronze section
\begin{align*}
\sum_{}^{}F_x & = 0  \to  \\
-4000\ \text{lb}+P_{br} & = 0 \\
P_{br} & = 4000 \ \text{lb} \ \text{(tension)}
\end{align*}

Solve for the internal axial load of the aluminum

Free-body diagram of the aluminum section for problem 101 of Strength of materials by Andrew Pytel and Ferdinand Singer
The free-body diagram of the aluminum section
\begin{align*}
\sum_{}^{}F_x & = 0 \\
-4000 \ \text{lb} + 9000 \ \text{lb} - P_{al} & = 0 \\
P_{al} & = 5000 \ \text{lb} \ \text{(Compression)}
\end{align*}

Solve for the internal axial load of the aluminum

The free-body diagram of the steel section
\begin{align*}
\sum_{}^{}F_x & = 0 \\
-4000\ \text{lb} + 9000 \ \text{lb} + 2000\ \text{lb} - P_{st} & =0 \\
P_{st} & = 7000 \ \text{lb} \ \text{(Compression)}
\end{align*}

We can now solve the stresses in each section.

For the bronze

\begin{align*}
\sigma_{br} & = \frac{P_{br}}{A_{br}} \\
& = \frac{4000\ \text{lb}}{1.2 \ \text{in}^2} \\
& = 3330 \ \text{psi}\ \text{(Tension)} \ \qquad \ \color{DarkOrange} \left( \text{Answer} \right)
\end{align*}

For the aluminum

\begin{align*}
\sigma_{al} & = \frac{P_{br}}{A_{al}} \\
& = \frac{5000\ \text{lb}}{1.8 \ \text{in}^2} \\
& = 2780 \ \text{psi}\ \text{(Compression)} \ \qquad \ \color{DarkOrange} \left( \text{Answer} \right)
\end{align*}

For the steel

\begin{align*}
\sigma_{st} & = \frac{P_{st}}{A_{st}} \\
& = \frac{7000\ \text{lb}}{1.6 \ \text{in}^2} \\
& = 4380\ \text{psi}\ \text{(Compression)} \ \qquad \ \color{DarkOrange} \left( \text{Answer} \right)
\end{align*}
