Check below

$f$ $f$ is not continuous at $0$ $0$ because $0$ $0$ $cancel(in)$ $D_f$

The domain of $(x^2+x)/x$ is $RR$ * $=RR-{0}$

Expression undefined; $0$ in denominator

Let's plug in $0$ for $x$ and see what we get:

$(0+0)/0=color(blue)(0/0)$

What I have in blue is indeterminate form. We have a zero in a denominator, which means this expression is undefined.

Hope this helps!
