But $\left | \frac{1}{x-1}\right |$ is discontinuous at $@$ $x=1$ . Why this happens ?

So as far as i know mod has no effect on continuity. Because continuity means their is NO holes in the given function. now consider a function which has a hole i.e.. its NOT continious, now by making the function positive ( |f(x)| ), the hole still exist, the only difference is that the hole now lies above X-axis instead of below. so i think the property you read online is not true. 1 votes 1 votes Magma commented Dec 2, 2018 reply Follow Share $\frac{1}{|x-1|}$ graph we see it from given graph that f(x) is discontinuous from x = 1 to -1 the graph is continuous at x belongs to (1 to infinite ) U (-infinity to -1) therefore it's also discontinuous at x = 0 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
