Manipal MET2015MathematicsContinuity and Differentiability
If f(x)= 1, x^2, x^3 , then
Options
- Af(x) is not everywhere continuous
- Bf(x) is continuous and differentiable everywhere
- Cf(x) is not differentiable at two points
- Df(x) is not differentiable at one point
Correct answer
D. f(x) is not differentiable at one point
Step-by-step solution
It is evident from the graph of f(x) that f(x)= array cc 1, & x 1 x^3, & x 1 array . Clearly, f(x) is everywhere continuous but it is not differentiable at x=1 .
