In the limit

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to c} f(x)

we're interested in the value that f(x) converges to as x gets closer to c. So in fact x\neq c.

In the given example, f(x) is factorized to reveal a common factor of x-1 in the numerator and denominator. We have x\neq1 if x\to1, so x-1\neq0 so we can simplify

\dfrac{x-1}{x-1} = 1

and *remove* the discontinuity.

Then

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to1} \frac{2(x-1)}{(x+1)(x-1)} = \lim_{x\to1} \frac2{x+1} = \frac2{1+1} = 1
