The function f x = m a x 1 - x , 1 + x , 2 ∀ x ∈ R is
Options
- Adiscontinuous at exactly two points
- Bdifferentiable ∀ x ∈ R
- Cdifferentiable ∀ x ∈ R - - 1 , 1
- Dcontinuous ∀ x ∈ R - 0 , 1 , - 1
Correct answer
C. differentiable ∀ x ∈ R - - 1 , 1
Step-by-step solution
f x = 1 - x : x ≤ - 1 2 : - 1 < x ≤ 1 1 + x : x > 1 Continuity at x = - 1 f - 1 = 1 - - 1 = 2 f - 1 - = 1 - - 1 = 2 f - 1 + = 2 ∵ f - 1 = f - 1 - = f - 1 + ∴ continuous at x = - 1 f 1 = 2 ,   f 1 - = 2 f 1 + = 1 + 1 = 2 ∵ f 1 - = f 1 = f 1 + ∴ continuous at x = 1 For differentiability, f ′ x = − 1 x < − 1 0 − 1 < x < 1 1 x > 1 at x = - 1 , f ' - 1 - = - 1 ,   f - 1 + = 0 ∵ f ' − 1 − ≠ f ' − 1
