Options
- Ax = 2 , 1
- Bx = 0 , 1
- Cx = 1,2 , 0
- Dcontinuous everywhere except x = 1
Correct answer
D. continuous everywhere except x = 1
Step-by-step solution
Clearly, x = 1 is a point of discontinuity of the function f x = x x - 1 . If x ≠ 1 , then f o f x = f f x = f x x - 1 = x , which is continuous ∀ x ∈ R . If x ≠ 1 , then f o f o f x = f x = x x - 1 Hence, f 15 x = f o f o f … … … 15 x = f x which is continuous everywhere except x = 1 So, the only point of discontinuity is x = 1
