Mathematics limits

So I came accross a question of limits y = [2x³-1], xε[1,2). Find the number of points of discontinuity of this function. And I can't understand why 1 is not included in discontinuity.??

Aaj maths paarak gyi hai kya? sabki

since the interval is [1,2) we can only check for RHL at x=1 if RHL at x=1 exists then we can say that function is continous at x = 1

I mean since it's greatest integer function and 1 is included in the range so technically shouldn't it be discontinuous at 1 ?

like yeah, im talking in general if you want to discuss about continuity at end points
DRJ

Nah is it correct or not idk

wdym like [a,b] then you can only check for RHL for a and LHL for B if limit exists at end points then function is continous at end points

I am saying that the ans is 13 and not 14 even if we include 1
Aetherfly

yeah cuz at 1 the limits exists
DRJ

how
Aetherfly

cuz we will only check for RHL 1+ we cant check for 1- cuz 1- is not in the given domain .

but for continuity lhl ,rhl and f(a) should be equal aint it. we will not check for lhl? for 1
Aetherfly

yes this is true for all points in the given interval, but for end points you can only check for LHL / RHL not both nope cuz its not in the given domain or not in the given interval
DRJ

so by rhl it will be enough?
Aetherfly
Aetherfly3w ago
yes but this is true only for end points
