To check if there is any discontinuity in the function f(x), we need to evaluate the limit x->0 from both sides of
the point x=0.
The table above gives the values of f(x) for values of x on either side of x=0. If we notice carefully, as x reaches 0 from
the positive side, the denominator approaches infinity and hence f(x) approaches 0. The graph will be asymptotic with
the x-axis.
On the negative side, as x approaches 0, the denominator approaches 1 and hence f(x) approaches x itself.
Since the limits on both sides of x=0 are not equal, there is a discontinuity in f(x) at x= 0.
(ii)
Since the function is not continuous at x=0, f(x) is not differentiable at x=0.
