Q38 / 68 · NEST (NISER) 2023 (Session 1) · Mathematics
Define $\operatorname{sgn}(x)= \begin{cases}1, & \text { if } x \gt 0, \\ -1, & \text { if } x \lt 0, \\ 0, & \text { if } x=0 .\end{cases}$
Let $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be the function defined by $f(x)=(x-\sqrt{5}) \operatorname{sgn}\left(x^2-5\right)$. Then the number of discontinuities of $f$ is
