The function $f(x)=x-[x]$ where $[,]$ denotes the greatest integer function is
Solution
Let $c$ be an integer.
For LHL,
$ \lim_{x \to c^-} f(x)=\lim_{h\to0^+}[(c-h)-[c-h]] $
Since $[c-h]=c-1$,
$ =\lim_{h\to0}(c-h-(c-1)) $
$ =\lim_{h\to0}(1-h)=1 $
For RHL,
$ \lim_{x \to c^+} f(x)=\lim_{h\to0^+}[(c+h)-[c+h]] $
Since $[c+h]=c$,
$ =\lim_{h\to0}(c+h-c) $
$ =\lim_{h\to0}h=0 $
Thus, $ \text{LHL} \ne \text{RHL} $
$\therefore f(x)$ is discontinuous at all integers.
Hence, $f(x)$ is continuous at non-integer points only.
