The scenario can be described using a piecewise function like:
f(x) = 1/x if x < c.
f(x) = x if x = c
f(x) = 1/(x + 73) if x > c.
Remember that the limit only exists if the limit from left and the limit from the right give the same value.
Then, we can just define a piecewise function of the form:
f(x) = 1/x if x < c.
f(x) = x if x = c
f(x) = 1/(x + 73) if x > c.
Clearly, this is not a continuous function.
Notice that:
[tex]f(c) = c.\\\\ \lim_{x \to c^{-}} f(x) = 1/c\\\\ \lim_{x \to c^{+}} f(x) = 1/(c + 73)[/tex]
So the limits from left and right are different, then:
[tex]\lim_{x \to c^{}} f(x)[/tex]
Does not exist.
