| 
                                   Answer» Solution :The function f(x) is definedat all points of the real LINE.  Case I : LET x = c be any arbitrary real number in the domain of f(x). If c lt 1 , then f(c ) = c +3 , therefore ` underset(x to c) lim f(x) = underset(x to c)lim (x+3) = c +3` Thus, f is CONTINUOUS at all real numbers less than 1. Case II. If c gt 1then f(c) = c -3 , therefore ` underset(x to c) lim f(x) = underset(x to c) lim (x-3) = (c -3) = f(c)` Thus, f(x) is continuous at all points x gt 1 . Case III. If c=1,then the left hand limit of f(c) at x =1 ` underset(x to 1^(-))lim f(x) = underset(x to 1^(+))(x -3) = 1 -3 = -2` Since the left and right hand LIMITS of f(x) at x=1do not coincide, f(x)is , not continuous at x =1 . Hence x =1 is the only pointof DISCONTINUITY of f(x). the graph of the function is as show.

                                    This passage was adapted from an article titled "Quantum Computing, Where is it Going?" published in a science magazine in 2018. It discusses the background and potential of quantum computing. Pharmaceutical companies dream of a time when their research and development process shifts from looking for illnesses whose symptoms can be ameliorated by a specific drug to choosing a diseaase and creating a frug to eradicate it.Quantum computing may be the key to that goal. The powerful modeling potential unlocked by quantum computing may also somedey be employed by autonomous vecicles to create a world free of traffic jams. With plausible applications in so many fields, it is worthwhile to learn a bit about how quantum computing works. Any understanding of quantum computing begins with its most bgasic element, the qubit In classical computing, information is processed by the bit, the binary choice of zero or one. Qubits, on the other hand, allow for infinite superpositions between zero and one and thus can store and process exponentially more complicated values. imagine showing someone where you live on a globe by pointing only to either the North Pole or South Pole While you are likely closer to one pole than the other, you need additional information to represent your specific location. If, however, you could provide your home's lititude and longitude, it could be located without any additional information. The power of quantum computing lies in the ability to express precise information in a single qubit Quantum computing may help scientist and engineers overcome another barrie by reducing energy ouptup while increasing computational speed. The positive correlation between energy output and processing speed often causes classical computers to "run hot" while processing overwhelmine amounts of data. Along with their ability to store m,ultiple value simultaneously, qubits are able to process those values in parallel instead of serially. How does processing in parallel conserve energy ? Suppose you want to set the time on five separate alarm clocks spaced ten feet apart. You'd have to walk to each clock to change its time. However if the clocks were connected such that changing the time on one immediatel7y adjusted the other four, you would expend less energy and increase processing speed. Therein lies the benefit of the quantum entanglement of qubits. While quantum computing has moved beyond the realm of the theoretical, significant barrieres still stand in he way of its practical application. One barrier is the diffcultly of confirming the results of quantum calculations. If quantum computing is used to solve problems that are impossible to solve with classical compting, is there a way to "check" the results? Scientists hope this paradox may soon be resolved. As a graduate student, Urmila Mahadev devoted over a decade to creating a verification process for quantum computing. The result is an interactive protocol, based on a type of cryptography called Learning With Errors (LWE), that is similar to "blind computing" used in cloud-computing to mask data while still performing calculations. Given current limatations, Mahadev's protocol remains purely theoretical, but rapid progress in quantum comuting combined with further refinement of the protocol will likely result in real world implementation within the next decade or two. It is unlikely that early pioneers in the field, including Stephen Wiesner, Richard Feynman, and Paul Benioff, could have foreseen the rapid progress that has been made to date. In 1960, when Wiesner first developed conjugate coding with the goal of improving cryptography, his paper on the subject was rejected for publication because it contained logic far ahead of its time. Feynman proposed a basic quantum computing model at the 1981 First Conference on teh Physics of Computation. At that same conference, Benioff spoke on the ability of discreate mechanical processes to rase their own history and their application to Turing machines, a natural extension of Wiesner's earlier work. A year later, Benioff more clearly outlined the theoretical farmework of a quantum computer. The dawn of the 21st century brought advancements at an even more impressive pace. The first 5-and 7-qubit nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) computers were demonstrated in Munich, Germany, and Santa Fe, New Mexico, respectively. In 2006. researchers at Oxford were able to cage a qubit within a "buckyball," a buckminsterfullerene molecule, and maintain its state for a short time using precies, repated microwave pulses. The first company dedicated to quantum computing software, 1QB Information Technologies, was founded in 2012, and in 2018, Google announced the development of the 72-qubit Bristlecone chip designed to prove "quantum supremacy," the ability of quantum computers to solve problems beyond the reach of classical computing. With progress in quantum computing accelerating, it seems inevitable that within a fewdecades, the general population will be as familiar with quantum computing as they now are with classical computing. At present, quantum computing is limited by the struggle to build a computer large enough to prove quantum supremacy, and the costs associated with quantum computing are prohibitive to all but the world's largest corporations and governmental institutions. Still classical computing overcame similar problems, so the future of quantum computing looks bright. The author's attitude toward the potential success of quantum computing can best be described as |

The result is an interactive protocol, based on a type of cryptography called Learning With Errors (LWE), that is similar to "blind computing" used in cloud-computing to mask data while still performing calculations. Given current limatations, Mahadev's protocol remains purely theoretical, but rapid progress in quantum comuting combined with further refinement of the protocol will likely result in real world implementation within the next decade or two. It is unlikely that early pioneers in the field, including Stephen Wiesner, Richard Feynman, and Paul Benioff, could have foreseen the rapid progress that has been made to date. In 1960, when Wiesner first developed conjugate coding with the goal of improving cryptography, his paper on the subject was rejected for publication because it contained logic far ahead of its time. Feynman proposed a basic quantum computing model at the 1981 First Conference on teh Physics of Computation. At that same conference, Benioff spoke on the ability of discreate mechanical processes to rase their own history and their application to Turing machines, a natural extension of Wiesner's earlier work. A year later, Benioff more clearly outlined the theoretical farmework of a quantum computer. The dawn of the 21st century brought advancements at an even more impressive pace. The first 5-and 7-qubit nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) computers were demonstrated in Munich, Germany, and Santa Fe, New Mexico, respectively. In 2006. researchers at Oxford were able to cage a qubit within a "buckyball," a buckminsterfullerene molecule, and maintain its state for a short time using precies, repated microwave pulses. The first company dedicated to quantum computing software, 1QB Information Technologies, was founded in 2012, and in 2018, Google announced the development of the 72-qubit Bristlecone chip designed to prove "quantum supremacy," the ability of quantum computers to solve problems beyond the reach of classical computing. With progress in quantum computing accelerating, it seems inevitable that within a fewdecades, the general population will be as familiar with quantum computing as they now are with classical computing. At present, quantum computing is limited by the struggle to build a computer large enough to prove quantum supremacy, and the costs associated with quantum computing are prohibitive to all but the world's largest corporations and governmental institutions. Still classical computing overcame similar problems, so the future of quantum computing looks bright.

                                    This passage was adapted from an article titled "Quantum Computing, Where is it Going?" published in a science magazine in 2018. It discusses the background and potential of quantum computing. Pharmaceutical companies dream of a time when their research and development process shifts from looking for illnesses whose symptoms can be ameliorated by a specific drug to choosing a diseaase and creating a frug to eradicate it.Quantum computing may be the key to that goal. The powerful modeling potential unlocked by quantum computing may also somedey be employed by autonomous vecicles to create a world free of traffic jams. With plausible applications in so many fields, it is worthwhile to learn a bit about how quantum computing works. Any understanding of quantum computing begins with its most bgasic element, the qubit In classical computing, information is processed by the bit, the binary choice of zero or one. Qubits, on the other hand, allow for infinite superpositions between zero and one and thus can store and process exponentially more complicated values. imagine showing someone where you live on a globe by pointing only to either the North Pole or South Pole While you are likely closer to one pole than the other, you need additional information to represent your specific location. If, however, you could provide your home's lititude and longitude, it could be located without any additional information. The power of quantum computing lies in the ability to express precise information in a single qubit Quantum computing may help scientist and engineers overcome another barrie by reducing energy ouptup while increasing computational speed. The positive correlation between energy output and processing speed often causes classical computers to "run hot" while processing overwhelmine amounts of data. Along with their ability to store m,ultiple value simultaneously, qubits are able to process those values in parallel instead of serially. How does processing in parallel conserve energy ? Suppose you want to set the time on five separate alarm clocks spaced ten feet apart. You'd have to walk to each clock to change its time. However if the clocks were connected such that changing the time on one immediatel7y adjusted the other four, you would expend less energy and increase processing speed. Therein lies the benefit of the quantum entanglement of qubits. While quantum computing has moved beyond the realm of the theoretical, significant barrieres still stand in he way of its practical application. One barrier is the diffcultly of confirming the results of quantum calculations. If quantum computing is used to solve problems that are impossible to solve with classical compting, is there a way to "check" the results? Scientists hope this paradox may soon be resolved.
