The function f(x) = 1/(x-1) is continuous on which of the following intervals?
  1. (-∞, 1)
  2. (1, ∞)
  3. (-∞, ∞)
  4. (-∞, 0)

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The function f(x) = 1/(x-1) is continuous on which of the following intervals?
  • Step 1: Identify the function given, which is f(x) = 1/(x-1).
  • Step 2: Determine where the function might be discontinuous. This happens when the denominator is zero.
  • Step 3: Set the denominator equal to zero: x - 1 = 0.
  • Step 4: Solve for x: x = 1. This is where the function is discontinuous.
  • Step 5: Since the function is discontinuous at x = 1, it cannot be continuous at that point.
  • Step 6: Identify the intervals where the function is continuous. The function is continuous everywhere except at x = 1.
  • Step 7: The intervals where the function is continuous are (-∞, 1) and (1, ∞).
