Where the Graph of a Function is Not Continuous
Determining where a piecewise function is continuous from its graph
Problem: Find the value(s) of \(b\) that make(s) the following piecewise-defined function continuous for all real numbers. If there is no such value of \(b\), explain why.\[
f(x) =
\begin{cases}
|2x-13|& \text{ $x\leq-5$} \\
\\
\dfrac{bx}{{x+7}} & \text{ $x>-5$} \\
\end{cases}
