Answer

  1. is not continuous at x = 0
Solution:
Given, $\text{f(x)=}\begin{cases}\frac{\text{e}\frac{1}{\text{x}}-1}{\text{e}\frac{1}{\text{x}}+1},\text{x}\neq0\\0,\text{x}=0\end{cases}$
We have
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\text{f(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\Bigg(\frac{\text{e}\frac{1}{\text{x}}-1}{\text{e}\frac{1}{\text{x}}+1}\Bigg)$
if $\text{e}^\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\text{t},$ then 
$\text{x}\rightarrow0, \text{t}\rightarrow\infty$
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\text{f(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{t}\rightarrow\infty}\Big(\frac{\text{t}-1}{\text{t}+1}\Big)$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{t}\rightarrow\infty}\Bigg(\frac{1-\frac{1}{\text{t}}}{1+\frac{1}{\text{t}}}\Bigg)=\frac{1-0}{1+0}=1$
Also, f(0) = 0
$\because\ \lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\text{f(x)}\neq\text{f}(0)$
Hence, f(x) is discontinuons at x = 0.
