Show that the funcation `f(x)={{:(x","," if x is an intger ") ,( 0",", " if x is not an integer "):}` is discontinuous at each integral value of x.

Answer» Let x= n when n is an integer. Then , f(n) =n
` lim_(x to n+) f(x) = lim_(h to 0) f( n +h) =0 `
[ ( n +h) is not an integer ` Rightarrrow ` f( n +h) =0]
` and lim_(x to n-) f(x)( = lim( h to 0) f( n -h) =0`
[ ( n-h) is not an interger ` Rightarrow ` f ( n -h) =0]
` lim_(x to n +) f(x) = lim_( x to n-) f(x) =0 `
So, ` lim_( x to n) f(x) = 0 ne f( n)`
Hence, f(x) is discontinuous at x = n
