Is the function f(x)=lxl continuous for all real numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes but this is not differentiable.

Thanks!

OpenStudy (jamesj):

What's the definition of continuity? A function f is continuous at x = a if \[ \lim_{x \rightarrow a} f(x) = f(a) \] Now, it seems clear this function is continuous for all a > 0 and for all a < 0. The only possible question mark is what happens at a = 0.

You got that right, so no need to worry about it :)
