Determine if f defined by
is a continuous function?
It is given that 
We know that f is defined at all points of the real line.
Let k be a real number.
Case I: k ≠ 0,
Then f(k) = ![]()
![]()
![]()
Thus, f is continuous at all points x that is x ≠ 0.
Case II: k = 0
Then f(k) = f(0) = 0
![]()
We know that -1 ≤
≤ 1, x ≠ 0
⇒ x2 ≤
≤ 0
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
Similarly, ![]()
![]()
Therefore, f is continuous at x = 0.
Therefore, f has no point of discontinuity.
