If a function f : R → R satisfy the equation f ( x + y ) = f ( x ) + f ( y ) , ∀ x , y and the function f ( x ) is continuous at x = 0 , then
Options
- Af ( x ) is continuous for all positive real values of x
- Bf ( x ) is continuous for all x
- Cf ( x ) = 0 for all x
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
B. f ( x ) is continuous for all x
Step-by-step solution
∵   lim x → 0 f x = f 0 Let a be any point Now, at x = a , lim x → a f x = lim h → 0 f a + h = lim h → 0 f a + lim h → 0 f h = f a + f 0 = f a + 0 = f a ∴   f x is continuous at x = a , where a is any arbitrary point. Hence, f x is continuous for all x .
