Answer

f is integrable on [-1,1] f has a discontinuity at x=0

Work Step by Step

Sample answer: Set up a piecewise function, such as $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{lll} 1, & & x < 0\\ 2, & & x \geq 0 \end{array}\right.$ See image below, f is integrable on [-1,1], $\displaystyle \int_{-1}^{1}f(x)=3$ and f has a discontinuity at x=0 (f is not continuous on [-1,1] )
