Manipal MET2016MathematicsContinuity and Differentiability
If the function f(x)= array cc ( x)^ 1 / x , & x 0 k, & x=0 array . is continuous at x=0 , then the value of k is
Options
- A8
- B1
- C-1
- DNone of these
Correct answer
B. 1
Step-by-step solution
For f(x) to be continuous at x=0 , we must have _ x 0 f(x)=f(0) _ x 0 ( x)^ 1 / x =k _ x 0 1+( x-1) ^ 1 / x =k e^ _ x 0 x-1 x =k e^ - _ x 0 2 ^2 x / 2 x =k array ll & e^0=k & k=1 array
