Discuss the continuity of the functionf(x) = |x -1|"at" x=1 |
|
Answer» Solution :By definition f(x) `{:{(x-1,XGE 1), (-(x-1), x lt1):}` CLEARLY, the function is DEFINED at 1 and f(1)=0 LEFT hand limit of at 1 is `underset(x to 1^(-))limf(x) = underset(x to1) LIM (-x+1)=0` Similarly the right hand limit of f at 1. is `underset(x to 1^(+))limf(x) = underset(x to 1^(+))lim ( x-1)=0 ` Thus, the left hand limit, right hand limit and the value of the function coincide at x =1 . Hence the function is continuous at x =1 . |
