What you see is a function of the programming of particular calculators.
See this:
http://www.coolmath.com/graphit/
type in the function in the function window.
set graph xmin 2.5 x max 3.5 ymin 2 ymax10
hit eval.
Then vary xmin and xmax
I am not certain of the point in this, because what you see is not a function of math, but what a particular calculator does with denominators and how it computes functions with possible zeroes.
Graph y=(x^2-9)/(x-3)
Zoom in on the graph around x=3. Give the viewing window when you first see the empty pixel at x=3 or you notice the graph getting "jagged" around there.
I'm using a TI-89, and I've been changing the window and zooming in to try and see the empty pixel, but no luck. I don't see anything. Help, anyone?
Thanks!
