The correct answer is: 7

Here both the modulus function is continuous in its domain.

At x=-1

limx-1-2x2-3x-7=2 & limx-1+4x2-1=2

Hence fx is continuous at x=-1

At x=1.

limx1-4x2-1=2 & limx1+x+1+x-2=3

Hence, fx is discontinuous at x=1

For x-1,1 the function fx is discontinuous when 4x2-1=0/ 1/ 2

i.e when x±12,±12,±32
