Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Exactly three points

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(x)=\frac{x-1}{x(x-1)(x+1)} = \frac{1}{x(x+1)}\) for \(x \neq 1\). Discontinuities occur where the denominator is zero for the simplified form or where the function definition changes. \(x(x+1)=0 \implies x=0, x=-1\). At \(x=1\):…
