Can someone help me find the point of discontinuity of a complex function? $$f(z)= \frac{2z-3}{z^2+2z+2}$$

It should not be so different from finding the discontinuity of a real function. Figure out what $z$ values make the denominator $0$ and those roots should be points of discontinuity. – Obsessive Integer Feb 19 '21 at 03:45

Hint: $z^2+2z+2= (z+1)^2+1$ – Ninad Munshi Feb 19 '21 at 04:50

Is it really a discontinuity point if the function is not even defined on it? For me, this "function" (you didn't specify the domain) is continuous.

1he said it's a complex function, so presumably over C...
that's just a guess though

1well if the function is defined in all the complex numbers. I'm assuming the roots of $z^2 + 2z + 2$ are complex numbers. So the function must be defined on these points. I'm not quite seeing which values the function takes on them, are you? – hellofriends Feb 19 '21 at 05:14

he wasn't hiding them. that was literally the question. where are the poles? – O.S. Feb 19 '21 at 05:18

Take a look at @NinadMunshi's hint to the question. Also, the poles are given in one of the answers. – mjw Feb 19 '21 at 05:20

@Reneo the question is what values that expression takes on it's singularities? I must have some eye disease then – hellofriends Feb 19 '21 at 05:22
-
not the values of the function at the singularities, but the values of z that produce singularities – O.S. Feb 19 '21 at 05:23
