Consider the function f (x) = (x^ 3 - x)| x^ 2 - 6x + 5|, x ∈ ℝ ,...

Consider the function f(x)=(x3−x)∣x2−6x+5∣,∀x∈R,thenf(x)isf \left(x\right) = \left(x^{3} - x\right)\left| x^{2} - 6x + 5\right|, \forall x \in \mathbb{R} , then f\left(x\right) is

Options

  1. Adiscontinuous at x=1x = 1
  2. Bdiscontinuous at x=5x = 5
  3. Cnon differentiable at x=1x = 1
  4. Dnon differentiable at x=5x = 5

Correct answer

D. non differentiable at x=5x = 5

Step-by-step solution

f\left(x\right) = \left({x}^{3} - x\right)\left|\left(x - 1\right)\left(x - 5\right)\right|<br/><br />= x\left(x + 1\right)\left(x - 1\right)\left|\left(x - 1\right)\left(x - 5\right)\right|<br/><br />f\left(x\right) = \left\{{(x3−x)(x2−6x+5)x∈(−∞,1)∪(5,∞)−(x3−x)(x2−6x+5)x∈[1,5]\begin{cases}\left({x}^{3} - x\right)\left({x}^{2} - 6x + 5\right) & x \in \left(- \infty, 1\right) \cup \left(5, \infty\right) \\ - \left({x}^{3} - x\right)\left({x}^{2} - 6x + 5\right) & x \in \left[1,5\right]\end{cases}\right)
∵(x3−x),∵ \left({x}^{3} - x\right), \left|{x}^{2} - 6x + 5\right|botharecontinuousboth are continuous\forall x \in R</p><p></p><p>∴ f\left(x\right)isalsocontinuousis also continuous\forall x \in R<br/>Now,<br/><br />Now,<br />{f}^{'}\left(x\right) = \left\{{(x3−x)(2x−6)+(x2−6x+5)(3x2−1)x∈(−∞,1)∪(5,∞)−(x3−x)(2x−6)−(x2−6x+5)(3x2−1)x∈(1,5)\begin{cases}\left({x}^{3} - x\right)\left(2x - 6\right) + \left({x}^{2} - 6x + 5\right)\left(3{x}^{2} - 1\right) & x \in \left(- \infty , 1\right) \cup \left(5, \infty\right) \\ - \left({x}^{3} - x\right)\left(2x - 6\right) - \left({x}^{2} - 6x + 5\right)\left(3{x}^{2} - 1\right) & x \in \left(1, 5\right)\end{cases}\right)
Now, check differentiability
At x=1x = 1
f′(1−)=(13−1)(2−6)+(1−6+5)(3−1)=0{f}^{′} \left({1}^{-}\right) = \left({1}^{3} - 1\right)\left(2 - 6\right) + \left(1 - 6 + 5\right)\left(3 - 1\right) = 0
f′(1+)=−(1−1)(2−6)−(1−6+5)(3−1)=0{f}^{′} \left({1}^{+}\right) = - \left(1 - 1\right)\left(2 - 6\right) - \left(1 - 6 + 5\right)\left(3 - 1\right) = 0
∵f′(1−)=f(1+)∴atx=1differentiable∵ {f}^{'}\left({1}^{-}\right) = f\left({1}^{+}\right) ∴ atx = 1differentiable
At x=5x = 5
f′(5−)=(125−5)(10−6)+0{f}^{′} \left({5}^{-}\right) = \left(125 - 5\right)\left(10 - 6\right) + 0
f′(5+)=−(125−5)(10−6)−0{f}^{′} \left({5}^{+}\right) = - \left(125 - 5\right)\left(10 - 6\right) - 0
Clearly, f′(5−)≠f′(5+){f}^{′} \left({5}^{-}\right) \ne {f}^{′} \left({5}^{+}\right)
∴∴ non-differentiable at x=5x = 5
