JEE Advanced2016MathematicsContinuity and DifferentiabilityActual
Let a , b ∈ R and f : R → R be defined by f x = a cos ⁡ x 3 - x + b x sin ⁡ x 3 + x . Then f is -
Options
- ADifferentiable at x = 0 if a = 0 and b = 1
- BDifferentiable at x = 1 if a = 1 and b = 0
- CNOT differentiable at x = 0 if a = 1 and b = 0
- DNOT differentiable at x = 1 if a = 1 and b = 1
Correct answer
A. Differentiable at x = 0 if a = 0 and b = 1
Step-by-step solution
If x 3 - x ≥ 0 ⇒ cos x 3 - x = cos x 3 - x x 3 - x < 0 ⇒ cos x 3 - x = cos x 3 - x Similarly b x sin x 3 + x = b x sin x 3 + x for all x ∈ R ∴ f x = a cos x 3 - x + b x sin x 3 + x Which is composition and sum of differentiable functions therefore always continuous and differentiable.
