Example 9 Discuss the continuity of the function f defined by š‘“ (š‘„) = 1/š‘„ , š‘„ ≠ 0. Given š‘“ (š‘„) = 1/š‘„ At š’™ = šŸŽ š‘“ (0) = 1/0 = āˆž Hence, š‘“(š‘„) is not defined at š’™=šŸŽ By definition, š‘“ (š‘„) = 1/š‘„ , š‘„ ≠ 0. So, we check for continuity at all points except 0. Let c be any real number except 0. f is continuous at š‘„ =š‘ if , (š„š¢š¦)┬(š±ā†’š’„) š’‡(š’™)=š’‡(š’„) L.H.S L.H.S (š„š¢š¦)┬(š±ā†’š’„) š’‡(š’™) = lim┬(xā†’š‘) 1/š‘„ Putting š‘„ =š‘ = 1/š‘ R.H.S š’‡(š’„) =1/š‘ " " Since, L.H.S = R.H.S ∓ Function is continuous at x = c (Except 0) Since, L.H.S = R.H.S ∓ Function is continuous at x = c (Except 0) Thus, we can write that f is continuous for all š’™ āˆˆš‘āˆ’{šŸŽ}
