(d) R − {1, 2} Given: fx=x4-5x2+4x-1x-2, x≠1, 26, x=112, x=2 Now,x4-5x2+4=x4-x2-4x2+4=x2x2-1-4x2-1=x2-1x2-4=x-1x+1x-2x+2⇒fx=x-1x+1x-2x+2x-2x-1, x≠1, 26, x=112, x=2 ⇒fx=x+1x+2, x<1-x+1x+2, 1<x<2x+1x+2, x>26, x=112, x=2 So, limx→1-fx=limh→0f1-h=limh→01-h+11-h+2=2×3=6 limx→1+fx=limh→0f1+h=-limh→01+h+11+h+2=-2×3=-6 Also, limx→2-fx=limh→0f2-h=-limh→02-h+12-h+2=-12 limx→2+fx=limh→0f2+h=limh→02+h+12+h+2=12 Thus, limx→1+fx≠limx→1-fx andlimx→2+fx≠limx→2-fx Therefore, the only points of discontinuities of the function fx are x=1 and x=2 . Hence, the given function is continuous on the set R − {1, 2}. .
