Step 2.1.1

Substitute $1$ for $x$ .

$\sqrt{1 - y}$

Step 2.1.2

Substitute $1$ for $y$ .

$\sqrt{1 - 1}$

Step 2.1.3

Subtract $1$ from $1$ .

$\sqrt{0}$

Step 2.2

There is an even radical with a zero as the radicand, which means that the function is not continuous on an open interval around the $x$ value of $(1, 1)$ .

Not continuous

Step 3

The function is not continuous on an open interval around the $x$ value of $(1, 1)$ .
