NDA2017MathematicsContinuity and DifferentiabilityActual
A function is defined as follows: f( x )= array cc - x x ^2 , & x 0 0, & x =0 array . Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above function?
Options
- Af( x ) is continuous at x =0 but not differentiable at x =0
- Bf(x) is continuous as well as differentiable at x =0
- Cf( x ) is discontinuous at x =0
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
C. f( x ) is discontinuous at x =0
Step-by-step solution
f(x)= array l -x x^2 , x 0 0, x=0 array .= array l -x |x| , x 0 0, x=0 . array . f (0+ h )= - h ~h =-1 ; f (0- h )= h ~h =1 So, f ( x ) is discontinuous at x =0 .
