Answer

False

Work Step by Step

Let us assume that $A(x)$ and $B(x)$ as polynomials functions having degree of $m$ and $n$ respectively. The rational function cab be defined as the quotient of two polynomials $A(x)$ and $B(x)$, that is, $\dfrac{A(x)}{B(x)}$. This can be discontinuous when the denominator becomes zero. But the value of the denominator can only have a zero value for finitely many values of $x$.Thus, this can not have infinitely many values of $x$ at which the function is discontinuous. Hence, the given statement is false.
