Classifying Discontinuities

For each of the functions below, find all points of discontinuity, and classify them as removable discontinuities, jump discontinuities, vertical asymptotes, or other essential discontinuities.

1.f(x) = x3 - 2x2 - x + 2 check3.f(x) =tan(2x) check

x-24.f(x) =tan(1/x) check
2.f(x) = { x2 - 4 + 1/xfor x < 1 check5.f(x) = { 2x + 4for x < 2 check
-2for x = 17for x = 2
x - 3 for 1 < x <= 4x3for x > 2
3 - sqrt(x)for x > 4

6. check

7. check
