Let [x]\left[x\right] be the greatest integer less than or equals to xx. Then, at which of the following point(s) the function ff\left(x\right) = xcos (π(x+[x]))\left(\pi\left(x + \left[x\right]\right)\right) is discontinuous?

Options

  1. Ax=1x = 1
  2. Bx=−1x = - 1
  3. Cx=0x = 0
  4. Dx=2x = 2

Correct answer

A. x=1x = 1

Step-by-step solution

f(x)=xcos(\pix+[x]π)f\left(x\right) = xcos \left(\pix + \left[x\right]\pi\right)

⇒f(x)=(−1)[x]xcos(\pix)⇒ f\left(x\right) = {\left(- 1\right)}^{\left[x\right]}xcos\left(\pix\right)

[x][ x ] is discontinuous at all integers and xcos\pixxcos\pix is continuous everywhere.

At x=0x = 0, f(x)=0f ( x ) = 0, so it's continuous.

At other integral points, f(x)f ( x ) is discontinuous.
