Consider the following functions :
1. f(x)=\left\{\right.
2. f(x)=\left\{\right.x=0$ ?
Options
- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Correct answer
B. 2 only
Step-by-step solution
\begin{cases}\frac{1}{x} & x \neq 0 \\ 0 & x=0\end{cases}as there is a discontinuity at $\mathrm{x}=0$, so function is not differentiable at $\mathrm{x}=0\begin{aligned}
& f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}
2 x+5 & x > 0 \\
x^2+2 x+5 & x \leq 0
\end{array}\right. \\
& f(0)=5 \\
& \operatorname{LHD}=\lim _{\mathrm{x} \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})-\mathrm{f}(0)}{\mathrm{x}-0} \\
& =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x^2+2 x+5-5}{x}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} x+2=2 \\
& R H D=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x-0} \\
& =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{2 x+5-5}{x}=2
\end{aligned}$ It is differentiable at Only (2) is differentiable at
