Ex 5.1, 12 Find all points of discontinuity of f, where f is defined by π(π₯)={ β(π₯10β1, ππ π₯β€1@&π₯2 , ππ π₯>1)β€ Since we need to find continuity at of the function We check continuity for different values of x When x = 1 When x < 1 When x > 1 Case 1 : When x = 1 f(x) is continuous at π₯ =1 if L.H.L = R.H.L = π(1) if limβ¬(xβ1^β ) π(π₯)=limβ¬(xβ1^+ ) " " π(π₯)= π(1) Since there are two different functions on the left & right of 1, we take LHL & RHL . LHL at x β 1 limβ¬(xβ1^β ) f(x) = limβ¬(hβ0) f(1 β h) = limβ¬(hβ0) ((1ββ)^10β1) = (1β0)^10+1 = 1^10β1 = 1 β 1 = 0 RHL at x β 1 limβ¬(xβ1^+ ) f(x) = limβ¬(hβ0) f(1 + h) = limβ¬(hβ0) (1+β)^2 = (1 + 0)2 = 12 = 1 Since L.H.L β R.H.L β΄ f is not continuous at x = 1 Case 2 : When x < 1 For x < 1, f(x) = π₯^10β1 Since this a polynomial It is continuous β΄ f(x) is continuous for x < 1 Case 3 : When x > 1 For x > 1, f(x) = x2 Since this a polynomial It is continuous β΄ f(x) is continuous for x > 1 Hence, only π₯=1 is point of discontinuity. β΄ f is continuous at all real numbers except 1 Thus, f is continuous for πβ R β {1}
