Try with Hints

Try to use the epsilon-delta definition of limit and the property that $f(x+1)=f(x)$ for all x.

$\lim_{x \to \infty} f(x) = 1$ $\Rightarrow \exists M > 0$ such that $x > M \Rightarrow$ $|f(x) - 1| < \epsilon$ . Now $f(x) = f(x+1)$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R} \Rightarrow f(x) = f(x+n)$ for every $n \in \mathbb{Z}$ .

Let's try to use this .

Given any $y \in \mathbb{R}$ we can select a suitable $n \in \mathbb{Z}$ such that $y+n > M$ . Then $|f(y+n) - 1| < \epsilon$ . But $f(y+n) = f(y)$ . Hence , $|f(y) - 1| < \epsilon$ . Hence , for all $y \in \mathbb{R},$ we have $|f(y) - 1| < \epsilon$ . Since , $\epsilon > 0$ is arbitrary , we must have $f(y) = 1$ for all $y \in \mathbb{R}.$

So $f$ is continuous and bounded
