Step 1
This happens when the denominator of a fraction is equal to zero. In this case, the denominator is |x-1|, which equals zero when x=1. So, the function is undefined at x=1. Show more…

Determine the points of discontinuity. State the type of discontinuity (removable, jump, infinite, or none of these) and whether the function is left-or right-continuous. $$ f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \frac{x-2}{|x-2|} & x \neq 2 \\ -1 & x=2 \end{array}\right. $$
