To find a point at which the function is not continuous, we need to consider the denominator of the function, which is (x-3). For the function to be continuous, the denominator cannot be equal to zero.

Setting the denominator equal to zero, we get:

x - 3 = 0

Solving for x, we find that x = 3.

Therefore, the function (x+5)/(x-3) is not continuous at x = 3 because it violates the first condition of the definition of continuity, which states that a function must be defined at that point.
