In summary, a function is continuous at a point if its limit at that point is the same as its function value. In this conversation, it is determined that $f$ is continuous at $x=1$ since $\lim_{x \to 1} f(x) = f(1) = 0$ for both left-hand and right-hand limits. This eliminates one possible answer. The remaining question is whether there are other integer values of $x$ where $f$ is continuous or if there exists a real $x$ where $f$ is not continuous.

A function is continuous at a point if its limit at that point is the same as its function value.
What is $\lim_{x\to 1} f(x)$ and what is $f(1)$?
What is $\lim_{x\to 1} f(x)$ and what is $f(1)$?

I'm getting $f(1)$ as well as $\lim_{x \to 1}f(x)$ = 0 both lhl and rhl

Then $f$ is continuous at $x=1$ and we have eliminated answer a.DaalChawal said:
The remaining question is what happens at other values of $x$.
Can we find another integer value for $x$ where $f$ is continuous?
Can we find a real $x$ where $f$ is not continuous?
FAQ: Continuity Problem: Solutions & Resources
What is a continuity problem?
A continuity problem is a type of error or inconsistency that arises when there is a disruption or break in the flow of a system or process. In scientific research, continuity problems can occur when there is a lack of consistency or coherence in the data or methods used.
How can continuity problems be solved?
There are several strategies that can be used to solve continuity problems, depending on the specific situation. Some common solutions include identifying and correcting errors in data or methods, using statistical techniques to account for variations, and incorporating additional data or resources to fill in any gaps.
What are some resources for addressing continuity problems?
There are a variety of resources that can be useful for addressing continuity problems in scientific research. These can include statistical software, databases of previous research findings, consultation with experts in the field, and access to additional data or resources.
How can continuity problems impact scientific research?
Continuity problems can have a significant impact on scientific research. They can lead to incorrect or unreliable conclusions, hinder the ability to replicate findings, and undermine the validity and credibility of research. It is important for scientists to be aware of and address continuity problems in their work.
Can continuity problems be prevented?
While it may not be possible to completely prevent continuity problems, there are steps that scientists can take to minimize their occurrence. This can include carefully designing experiments and data collection methods, thoroughly checking for errors, and using appropriate statistical techniques to account for variations in data.
