Answer

The discontinuity points of the function f(x) are \(\boxed{-1}\) and \(\boxed{3}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Find the value of f(1) given that \(\lim_{x \rightarrow 1}(3+f(x))=2\)

Step 2 :Find the value of a such that \(g(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{ll}x^{2}, & x<1 \\ a x+3, & x \geq 1\end{array}\right.\) is continuous

Step 3 :Find the discontinuity points of the function \(f(x) = \frac{x}{x^{2} - 2x - 3}\)

Step 4 :f(1) = \boxed{-1}

Step 5 :a = \boxed{-2}

Step 6 :The discontinuity points of the function f(x) are \(\boxed{-1}\) and \(\boxed{3}\)
