Homework Statement
Find continuity of function f(x)= (x^2-1)/(x-1) at x = 1
Homework Equations
limit f(x) as x-> = L
The Attempt at a Solution
i KNOW it can be easily solved by stating that at x = 1 function becomes infinity,so discontinous it is actually...But as we do in finding domain and range of rational functions,we make an altered functions by factorization...in this case by factorization f(x) = x+1 which when x = 1 give limit = 2...I couldn't understand the notion here why we don't factorize here?? please tell me thoroughly in layman's terms
