The function f(x)=x−1x(x2−1),x≠1,f(1)=1f(x) = \frac{x-1}{x(x^2-1)}, x \neq 1, f(1) = 1, is discontinuous at

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

f(x)=x−1x(x−1)(x+1)=1x(x+1)f(x) = \frac{x-1}{x(x-1)(x+1)} = \frac{1}{x(x+1)} for x≠1x \neq 1. Undefined at x=0,x=−1x = 0, x = -1. At x=1x = 1: lim⁡x→11x(x+1)=12≠f(1)=1\lim_{x\to 1} \frac{1}{x(x+1)} = \frac{1}{2} \neq f(1) = 1, so discontinuous. Total: three points.
