Question 13:
Is the function defined by
a continuous function?
The given function is
The given function f is defined at all the points of the real line.
Let c be a point on the real line.
Case I:
Therefore, f is continuous at all points x, such that x < 1
Case II:
The left hand limit of f at x = 1 is,
The right hand limit of f at x = 1 is,
It is observed that the left and right hand limit of f at x = 1 do not coincide.
Therefore, f is not continuous at x = 1
Case III:
Therefore, f is continuous at all points x, such that x > 1
Thus, from the above observation, it can be concluded that x = 1 is the only point of discontinuity of f.
