lim_(x→1) {1−x+[x−1]+[1−x]} = ?  [.]= greatest integer function.
limx1{1x+[x1]+[1x]}=?[.]=greatestintegerfunction.

[x−1]=[x]−1  [1−x]=[−x]+1  1−x+[x−1]+[1−x]=1−x+[x]+[−x]  [x]+[−x]= { ((0; x∈Z)),((−1; x∈R\Z)) :}  f(x)=1−x+[x]+[−x]  f(1)=0  but  lim_(x→1) f(x)=−1  the graph of f(x) is the straight line y=−x  except for x∈Z where it′s y=1−x
[x1]=[x]1[1x]=[x]+11x+[x1]+[1x]=1x+[x]+[x][x]+[x]={0;xZ1;xRZf(x)=1x+[x]+[x]f(1)=0butlimx1f(x)=1thegraphoff(x)isthestraightliney=xexceptforxZwhereitsy=1x

yes. in this case the limit from both sides is  −1 although that′s not the value of the  function at this point.
yes.inthiscasethelimitfrombothsidesis1althoughthatsnotthevalueofthefunctionatthispoint.

we are watching in the neighbourhood  of x=1 hence ans. is −1.  right ?

let put x−1=t   lim_(x→1) 1−x +[x−1] +[1−x]  =lim_(t→0)  −t  +[t] +[−t] let put f(t)=−t +[t] +[−t]  we have f(0)=0  but   lim_(t→0^+ )    f(t) = −1   and lim_(t→0^− )   f(t)=  −1 so  limits exist at left and right  but f is not continue  at 0 .
letputx1=tlimx11x+[x1]+[1x]=limt0t+[t]+[t]letputf(t)=t+[t]+[t]wehavef(0)=0butlimt0+f(t)=1andlimt0f(t)=1solimitsexistatleftandrightbutfisnotcontinueat0.
