Let $f$ maps from $mathbb{R}$ to $mathbb{R}$. Be given by
$$f(x)=
begin{cases}
sqrt{(1+p^2)/(1+q^2)},& x=p/q neq 0,\
x, & text{otherwise}.
end{cases}
$$
Then
a) $f$ is continuous on $big((0,infty) cap mathbb{Q'}big) cup {0,1}$. (Note that $mathbb{Q}'$ denote $mathbb{Q}$ complement).
b) If $a in (-infty,0)$ then $lim_{xto a} f(x)$ does not exists.
c) If $a in [0,infty)$, then $lim_{xto a} f(x)=a$
I know it is discontinuous, and in the answer sheet a, b, c are correct options. But I confused about option (b), how limit doesn't exist for negative number and also confused about option (a), how it is continuous on 0. I have tried a lot, eventually leads to headache, please help me, I shall be very thankful for it. Thanks in advance.

I have edited the formatting, let me know if the question is still accurate. Also, when you define $f(x)$ for $x = p/q$, are you assuming that $p/q$ is a rational with no common factors between $p$ and $q$?

I have edited the formatting, let me know if the question is still accurate. Also, when you define $f(x)$ for $x = p/q$, are you assuming that $p/q$ is a rational with no common factors between $p$ and $q$?
