  4. DIf fgfg is differentiable at x=1x = 1, then gg is differentiable at x=1x = 1

Correct answer

A. If gg is continuous at x=1x = 1, then fgfg is differentiable at x=1x = 1

Step-by-step solution

Differentiability of fgfg at x=1x = 1

Left-hand derivative :

(fg)′(1−)=lim⁡h→0fg(1−h)−fg(1)−h{\left(fg\right)}^{'}\left({1}^{-}\right) = \lim_{h \to 0}\dfrac{fg\left(1 - h\right) - fg\left(1\right)}{- h}

=lim⁡h→0{(1−h)3−(1−h)2−hsin(1−h)}g(1−h)−0−h= \lim_{h \to 0}\dfrac{\left\{{\left(1 - h\right)}^{3} - {\left(1 - h\right)}^{2} - hsin\left(1 - h\right)\right\}g\left(1 - h\right) - 0}{- h}

=lim⁡h→0{(1−h)2+sin⁡(1−h)}g(1−h).......(i)= \lim_{h \to 0}\left\{{\left(1 - h\right)}^{2} + \sin \left(1 - h\right)\right\}g\left(1 - h\right) . . . . . . . \left(i\right)

Right-hand derivative :

(fg)′(1+)=lim⁡h→0fg(1+h)−fg(1)h{\left(fg\right)}^{'}\left({1}^{+}\right) = \lim_{h \to 0}\dfrac{fg\left(1 + h\right) - fg\left(1\right)}{h}

=lim⁡h→0{(1+h)3−(1+h)2+hsin(1+h)}g(1+h)−0h= \lim_{h \to 0}\dfrac{\left\{{\left(1 + h\right)}^{3} - {\left(1 + h\right)}^{2} + hsin\left(1 + h\right)\right\}g\left(1 + h\right) - 0}{h}

=lim⁡h→0{(1+h)2+sin⁡(1+h)}g(1+h).......(ii)= \lim_{h \to 0}\left\{{\left(1 + h\right)}^{2} + \sin \left(1 + h\right)\right\}g\left(1 + h\right) . . . . . . . \left(ii\right)

If gg is continuous at x=1x = 1, then

lim⁡h→0g(1+h)=lim⁡h→0g(1−h)=g(1).........(iii)\lim_{h \to 0}g\left(1 + h\right) = \lim_{h \to 0}g\left(1 - h\right) = g\left(1\right) . . . . . . . . . \left(iii\right)

From equations \left(i\right), \left(ii\right) \text{ and } \left(iii\right),weget</p><p>, we get</p><p>\lim_{h \to 0}{\left(fg\right)}^{'}\left({1}^{+}\right) = \lim_{h \to 0}{\left(fg\right)}^{'}\left({1}^{-}\right) = \left(1 + \sin 1\right)g\left(1\right)</p><p></p><p>∴ fgisdifferentiableatis differentiable atx = 1.</p><p>So,option(A).</p><p>So, option \left(A\right) is correct.

Now, from equations \left(i\right) \text{ and } \left(ii\right),wecansaythatfor, we can say that forfgtobedifferentiable,weneedonlyto be differentiable, we need onlyg\left(1 + h\right) = g\left(1 - h\right).</p><p>Butfor.</p><p>But forgtobecontinuous,weneedto be continuous, we needg\left(1 + h\right) = g\left(1 - h\right) = g\left(1\right).</p><p>So,option(B).</p><p>So, option \left(B\right) is incorrect.

Now, if gg is differentiable at x=1x = 1 and ff is already differentiable at x=1x = 1 as f′(1−)=f′(1+)=1+sin⁡1{f}^{'}\left({1}^{-}\right) = {f}^{'}\left({1}^{+}\right) = 1 + \sin 1, so product of two differentiable functions is also differentiable.

∴fg∴ fg is differentiable at x=1x = 1.

So, option \left(C\right)iscorrect.</p><p>Now,fromoption(B)is correct.</p><p>Now, from option \left(B\right), if fgfg is differentiable at x=1x = 1, we cannot guarantee gg to be continuous at x=1x = 1.

So, we also cannot guarantee gg to be differentiable at x=1x = 1.

So, option \left(D\right) is incorrect.
