A function f(x)=x/absolute x is *not continuous at x=1 *continuous at x=1 plz explain and also why is it?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

As a start, compute below two : 1) \(f(1)\) 2) \(\lim\limits_{x\to 1}f(x) \)

OpenStudy (smilie2015):

ok i got it , it will be continuous at 1 but will be discontinuous at 0 i am right ??

OpenStudy (smilie2015):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Is the function even defined at x = 0 ?

OpenStudy (smilie2015):

domain?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, whats the value of f(0) ?

OpenStudy (smilie2015):

undefined ? ryt

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

If the function itself is undefined at x=0, how can you talk about whether it is continuous or not at x = 0 ?

OpenStudy (smilie2015):

oook so at 1 it is continuous

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes, the function is continuous at every point in its domain.

OpenStudy (smilie2015):

okk

OpenStudy (smilie2015):

thanks :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

btw, x = 0 is not in its domain

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yw :)
