What are removable and non-removable discontinuties
👉 Learn how to find the removable and non-removable discontinuity of a function. A function is said to be discontinuous at a point when there is a gap in the graph of the function at that point. A discontinuity is said to be removable...

The Sunk Cost Fallacy: Why We Hold onto Things We Should Let Go Of
The video discusses the sunk cost fallacy, which is the tendency to continue investing in something because of the resources already invested, even if it no longer makes rational sense. The fallacy is driven by loss aversion, the desire...

Find all the asymptotes and intercepts of a rational function
👉 Learn how to find the x and y-intercepts of a rational function. The x-intercept(s) of a function occurs when y = 0 and the y-intercept(s) of a function occurs when x = 0. To find the y-intercept of a function, we plug in zero for x...
