Step-by-step solution
For right hand continuity at \begin{aligned}
& \begin{aligned}
\mathrm{RHL} & =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(0+h) \\
& =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^h-1}{h}=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left(1+h+\frac{h^2}{2!}+\ldots\right)-1}{h} \\
& =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{h+\frac{h^2}{2!}+\frac{h^3}{3!}+\ldots}{h} \\
& =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} 1+\frac{h}{2!}+\frac{h^2}{3!}+\ldots..=1
\end{aligned}\\
&\\
& $\text{ RHL }=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(1+h)
\end{aligned}\begin{aligned}
& =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{1+h}-1}{1+h} \\
& =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left(1+(1+h)+\frac{(1+h)^2}{2}+\ldots.\right)-1}{1+h} \\
& =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(1+h)+\frac{(1+h)^2}{2!}+\frac{(1+h)^3}{3!}+\ldots.}{(1+h)} \\
& =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} 1+\frac{(1+h)}{2!}+\frac{(1+h)^2}{3!}+\ldots. \\
& =1+\frac{1}{2!}+\frac{1}{3!}+\frac{1}{4!}+\ldots. \\
& \mathrm{LHL}=\lim _{x \rightarrow \mathrm{I}^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} f(1-h) \\
& =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{(1-h)}-1}{1-h} \\
& =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left(1+(1-h)+\frac{(1-h)^2}{2!}+\ldots.\right)-1}{(1-h)} \\
& =\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} 1+\frac{(1-h)}{2!}+\frac{(1-h)^2}{3!}+\ldots. \\
& =1+\frac{1}{2!}+\frac{1}{3!}+\frac{1}{4!}+\ldots. \\
& f(1)=\frac{e^1-1}{1}=\left(1+\frac{1}{2!}+\frac{1}{3!}+\frac{1}{4!}+\ldots.\right)-1
\end{aligned}$\ldots\Rightarrow \neq f(1), \neq f(1)f
