CBSEENMA12034545

Discuss the continuity of the function f defined by
straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals 1 over straight x comma space straight x not equal to 0

Solution
Here space straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals 1 over straight x comma space straight x not equal to 0
Function f is defined for all real numbers except 0.
Let c ≠ 0 be any real number.
therefore space straight f left parenthesis straight c right parenthesis equals 1 over straight c
Also space Lt with straight x rightwards arrow straight c below straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals Lt with straight x rightwards arrow straight c below 1 over straight c equals 1 over straight c
therefore space Lt with straight x rightwards arrow straight c below straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals straight f left parenthesis straight c right parenthesis
∴ f is continuous at c
But c ≠ 0 is any real number
∴ f is continuous at every real number except 0.
∴ f is a continuous function at its domain.
