Question
Discuss the continuity of the function f(x) at the point x = 0, where$\text{f}\text{(x)}=\begin{cases}\text{x}, & \text{x} > 0\\1,&\text{x}=0\\\text{-x}, & \text{x} > 0\end{cases}$

Answer

Given,
$\text{f}\text{(x)}=\begin{cases}\text{x}, & \text{x} > 0\\1,&\text{x}=0\\\text{-x}, & \text{x} > 0\end{cases}$
$\text{(LHL at x}=0)=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0^-}\text{f}\text{(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\text{f}(0-\text{h)}$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\text{f}\text{(-h)}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}-(-\text{h)}=0$
$\text{(RHL at x}=0)=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0^+}\text{f}\text{(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\text{f}(0+\text{h)}$
$\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\text{f}\text{(h)}=0$
And, $\text{f}(0)=1$
$\therefore\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0^-}\text{f}\text{(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0^+}\text{f}\text{(x)}\neq\text{f}(0).$
Hence, f(x) is discontinuous at x = 0.
