The given function is
f(x)={x+1,ifx≥1x2+1,ifx<1
The given function is defined at all the points of the real line.
Let c be a point on the real line.
Case
I: c<1, then f(c)=c2+1 and limx→cf(x)=limx→c(x2+1)=c2+1
∴ limx→cf(x)=f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all points x, such that x<1
Case II : c=1, then f(c)=f(1)=1+1=2
The left hand limit of f at x=1is,
limx→1 f(x)= limx→1 (x2+1 ) = 12+1=2
The right hand limit of f at x=1 is,
limx→1f(x)=limx→1(x+1)=1+1=2
∴ limx→1f(x)=f(1)
Therefore, f is continuous at x=1
Case III : c>1, then f(c)=c+1
limx→cf(x)=limx→c(x+1)=c+1
∴ limx→cf(x)=f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all points x, such that x>1
Hence, the given function f has no point of discontinuity.
