Problem 7

Each of the functions in Problems 5 through 10 is either continuous on \((-\infty, \infty)\) or has a point of discontinuity at some point \((s) x=a .\) Determine any point \((s)\) of discontinuity. Is the point of discontinuity removable? In other words, can the function be made continuous by defining or redefining the function at the point of discontinuity? $$ f(x)=\frac{1}{x+2} $$

If so, which ones and why? Explain.
