Consider the function f(x)= array cc x^2, & x 2 3 x-2, & x 2 array . . Which one of the following statements is correct in respect of the above function?
Options
- Af(x) is derivable but not continuous at x=2 .
- Bf(x) is continuous but not derivable at x=2 .
- Cf(x) is neither continuous nor derivable at x=2 .
- Df(x) is continuous as well as derivable at x=2 .
Correct answer
B. f(x) is continuous but not derivable at x=2 .
Step-by-step solution
Let f(2+h)=4 as h 0 Let f(2-h)=4 as h 0 Let f(2)=4 continuous at x=2f^ (2⁺ )=4, f^ (2⁻ )=3
