Examine the graph of the function f(x) at x=1. Notice that there is a jump discontinuity at this point, as the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit do not match.
To determine continuity at x=1, check if the left-hand limit, right-hand limit, and the value of the function at x=1 are equal. In this case, they are not, indicating the function is discontinuous at x=1.
For differentiability, a function must be continuous at the point in question. Since f(x) is not continuous at x=1, it cannot be differentiable there.
Additionally, even if the function were continuous, the presence of a sharp corner or cusp at x=1 would also prevent differentiability.
Conclude that the function f(x) is both discontinuous and non-differentiable at x=1.
