Question 11

EasyOriginal question

For f(x)=x+∣x−1∣x−1f(x) = x + \frac{\lvert x - 1 \rvert}{x - 1}, what is the right-hand limit at x=1x = 1?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. For x>1x > 1, ∣x−1∣=x−1\lvert x - 1 \rvert = x - 1, so ∣x−1∣x−1=1\frac{\lvert x - 1 \rvert}{x - 1} = 1.

  2. So f(x)=x+1→2f(x) = x + 1 \to 2 as x→1+x \to 1^{+}.

Worth noting

0 uses ∣x−1∣x−1=−1\frac{\lvert x - 1 \rvert}{x - 1} = -1, which holds only to the left of 1.
