Answer

a. Domain $(-\infty,\infty)$, Range $[-1,1]$ b. $(-\infty,-1)\cup(-1,1)\cup(1,\infty)$ c. Does not exist. d. Does not exist.

Work Step by Step

We are given the piecewise function: $f(x)=\begin{cases} x\hspace1cm -1\leq x\lt0, 0\lt x\leq1 \\ 1\hspace1cm x=0 \\0\hspace1cm x\lt-1, x\gt1 \end{cases}$, We can graph the function as shown. a. Domain $(-\infty,\infty)$, Range $[-1,1]$ b. $\lim_{x\to c}f(x)$ exist for all points except $c\ne\pm1$, in other notation $c\in(-\infty,-1)\cup(-1,1)\cup(1,\infty)$ c. For the left-hand limit only, we can not identify any points. d. For the right-hand limit only, we can not identify any points.
