See the Explanation.

To prove that a fun. #F(x)# is continuous (cont.) at

#x=a, a in D_F"=the Domain of "F#, we have to prove that,

#lim_(xrarra) F(x)=F(a)#.

So, in our case, we have,

#lim_(xrarr1) f(x)#

#=lim_(xrarr1) 1/x#

#=1/1=1#.

#f(1)=1#.

Thus, #lim_(xrarr1) f(x)=f(1)#.

Hence, #f# is cont. at #x=1#.
