Let f : R → R be differentiable at c ∈ R and f c = 0 . If g x = f x , then at x = c , g is:
Options
- Anot differentiable
- Bnot differentiable if f ' c = 0
- Cdifferentiable if f ' c = 0
- Ddifferentiable if f ' c ≠ 0
Correct answer
C. differentiable if f ' c = 0
Step-by-step solution
Given g x = f x and f c = 0 g ' c + = lim x → c + f x - f c x - c = lim x → c + f x - f ( c ) x - c ,   as   x > c ⇒ g ' c + = f ' c g c - = lim x → c - f x - f c x - c = - lim x → c - f x - f ( c ) x - c ,   as   x < c ⇒ g ' c - = - f ' c For g x to be differentiable at x = c , f ' c must be 0 . Else, it is non-differentiable.
