This function is discontinuous at #x_1=-2# and #x_2=3#

Explanation:

Such function is discontinuous at the points, which are the zeros of denominator, but are not zeroes of the numerator.

In this case the numerator is zero for #x=1#, and the denominator is zero for #x_1=-2# and #x_2=3#

graph{(x-1)/(x^2-x-6) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
