Let R denote the set of all real numbers. Define the function f: R R by f( x )= array cc 2-2 x^2-x^2 1 x & if x 0 2 & if x=0 array . Then which one of the following statements is TRUE ?

Options

  1. AThe function f is NOT differentiable at x=0
  2. BThere is a positive real number , such that f is a decreasing function on the interval (0, )
  3. CFor any positive real number , the function f is NOT an increasing function on the interval (- , 0)
  4. Dx=0 is a point of local minima of f

Correct answer

C. For any positive real number , the function f is NOT an increasing function on the interval (- , 0)

Step-by-step solution

(A) RHD at x=0: _ h 0 (2-2 h^2-h^2 1 h )-2 h =0 Similarly LHD at x =0 is also equal to 0 . Differentiable at x =0 (B) f^ (x)=-4 x-2 x 1 x -x^2 ( 1 x ) ( -1 x^2 ) aligned & f^ (x)=- (4 x+2 x 1 x )+ 1 x & f^ (x)=- (2 x (4- 1 x ) )+ 1 x aligned for x (0, ) We can't say f(x) is decreasing on (0, ) as 1 x oscillates. (C) for x (- , 0) , for any >0 f(x) is not increasing on (- , 0) as 1 x oscillates from -1 to 1. (D) f(0)=2 aligned & f(0+h) <2 & f(0-h) <2 aligned x =0 is local maxima
