Let f: [- 1,3] → R be defined as f(x) = \ array ll |x| + [x], x +...

Let f:[−1,3]→Rf: \left[- 1,3\right] \to R be defined as
f\left(x\right) = \left\{∣x∣+[x],x+∣x∣,x+[x],\begin{array}{ll}\left|x\right| + \left[x\right], \\ x + \left|x\right|, \\ x + \left[x\right],\end{array}$\begin{array}{ll}- 1 \le x < 1 \\ 1 \le x < 2 \\ 2 \le x \le 3,\end{array}\right
Where \left[t\right] denotesthegreatestintegerlessthanorequaltotthe greatest integer less than or equal tot. Then, ff is discontinuous at:$

Options

  1. AOnly one point
  2. BOnly two points
  3. CFour or more points
  4. DOnly three points

Correct answer

D. Only three points

Step-by-step solution

f\left(x\right) = \left\{∣x∣+[x];−1≤x<1x+∣x∣;1≤x<2∣x∣+[x];2≤x≤3\begin{array}{ll}\left|x\right| + \left[x\right]; - 1 \le x < 1 \\ x + \left|x\right|; 1 \le x < 2 \\ \left|x\right| + \left[x\right]; 2 \le x \le 3\end{array}\right)</p><p>= \left\{−x−1;−1≤x<0x+0;0≤x<12x;1≤x<2x+2;2≤x<36;x=3\begin{array}{ll}- x - 1; - 1 \le x < 0 \\ x + 0; 0 \le x < 1 \\ 2x; 1 \le x < 2 \\ x + 2; 2 \le x < 3 \\ 6; x = 3\end{array}\right)

At x=0,1,2,3x = 0, 1, 2, 3 ff changes its definition.

∴∴ At x=0LHL=−1,RHL=0⇒fx = 0LHL = - 1, RHL = 0 ⇒ f is discontinuous at

x=0x = 0

x=1LHL=1,RHL=2⇒fx = 1LHL = 1, RHL = 2 ⇒ f is discontinuous at x=1x = 1

x=2LHL=RHL=f(2)=4⇒fx = 2LHL = RHL = f\left(2\right) = 4 ⇒ f is continuous at x=2x = 2

x=3LHL=5,f(3)=6⇒fx = 3LHL = 5, f\left(3\right) = 6 ⇒ f is discontinuous at x=1x = 1

∴∴ Points of discontinuity are 0,1,3.0, 1, 3 .
