Definition of continuity :
\A function is continuous at
, if
then it should satisfy three conditions :
(1) is defined.
(2) exists.
(3) .
Condition (1): is defined.
If then the function is
.
Substitute in the above function.
.
Condition (2): exists.
Left hand limit :
\Right hand limit :
\Left hand limit and right hand limit are equal, limit exist.
\.
Condition (3): .
and
.
.
The three conditions of continuity are satisfied, hence the function is continuous.
\Therefore, the function is continuous at
.
The function is continuous function of
