f ( x ) = 1 x 2 17 x + 66 f(x) = \dfrac{1}{x^2 - 17x + 66}

How many points of discontinuity are there for f ( 2 x 2 ) f\left(\dfrac{2}{x - 2}\right) ?

Let u = 2 x 2 u = \dfrac{2}{x - 2} \Longrightarrow f ( u ) = 1 ( u 6 ) ( u 11 ) f(u) = \dfrac{1}{(u - 6)(u - 11)}

f ( u ) f(u) is undefined when u is undefined i.e at x = 2 x = 2 , u = 6 u = 6 , u = 11 u = 11 .

\Longrightarrow f ( u ) f(u) is discontinous at x = 2 x = 2 , 2 x 2 = 6 \dfrac{2}{x - 2}= 6 , 2 x 2 = 11 \dfrac{2}{x - 2} = 11

i.e x = 2 x = 2 , x = 7 3 x = \dfrac{7}{3} , x = 24 11 x = \dfrac{24}{11}

Number of discontinuos points = 3 \boxed{3}
