Solution
The given function is f(x) = |x| - |x + 1|
The two functions, g and h, are defined as
Therefore, g is continuous at x = 0
From the above three observations, it can be concluded that g is continuous at all points.
Therefore, h is continuous at x = −1
From the above three observations, it can be concluded that h is continuous at all points of the real line.
g and h are continuous functions. Therefore, f = g − h is also a continuous function.
Therefore, f has no point of discontinuity.
