Consider the following functions : 1. f(x)=\left\{1x if  x≠00 if  x=0\begin{array}{lll}\frac{1}{x} & \text{\text{ if } } & x \neq 0 \\ 0 & \text{\text{ if } } & x=0\end{array}\right. 2. f(x)=\left\{2x+5 if x>0x2+2x+5 if x≤0\begin{array}{ccc}2 x+5 & \text{ if } & x > 0 \\ x^2+2 x+5 & \text{ if } & x \leq 0\end{array}\right.Whichoftheabovefunctionsis/arederivableatWhich of the above functions is/are derivable atx=0$ ?

Options

  1. A1 only
  2. B2 only
  3. CBoth 1 and 2
  4. DNeither 1 nor 2

Correct answer

B. 2 only

Step-by-step solution

f(x)=f(x)=\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 $\mathrm{x}=0\begin{aligned} & f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} 2 x+5 & x > 0 \\ x^2+2 x+5 & x \leq 0 \end{array}\right. \\ & f(0)=5 \\ & \operatorname{LHD}=\lim _{\mathrm{x} \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})-\mathrm{f}(0)}{\mathrm{x}-0} \\ & =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x^2+2 x+5-5}{x}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} x+2=2 \\ & R H D=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x-0} \\ & =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{2 x+5-5}{x}=2 \end{aligned}$∴\therefore It is differentiable at x=0∴\mathrm{x}=0\therefore Only (2) is differentiable at x=0\mathrm{x}=0
