Answers & Solutions


Q.1 Answer:
−2
Solution:

Given function is :
3x − 4, 0 ≤ x ≤ 2
f (x) = {
2x + ℓ, 2 < x ≤ 9
​ ​

and also given that f(x) is continuous at x = 2 For a function to be continuous at a point LHL =
RHL = V.F. at that point. f(2) = 2 = V.F.
⇒ RHL : limx→2 (2x + ℓ) = 3(2) − 4

⇒ limh→0 {2(2 + h) + ℓ} = 6 − 4

⇒ 4 + ℓ = 2, ⇒ ℓ = −2

Q.2 Answer:
e
Solution:

For a function to be continuous at a point the limit should exist and should be equal to the value of
the function at that point. Here point is x =0

lim f (x) = lim (x + 1)cot x


​ ​

x→0 x→0
1
and = lim (1 + x)cot x = lim (1 + x) x ⋅x cot x
​ ​

x→0 x→0 ​

1
= lim (1 + x) x limx→0 = e1 = e
x
tan x
​ ​ ​

x→0

Since limiting value of f(x) = e, when x → 0, f(0)


should also be equal to e.

Q.3 Answer:
3
Solution:

The function log ∣x∣ is not defined at x = 0 So, x = 0 is a point of discontinuity Also, for f (x) to
be defined; log ∣x∣ 0⇒x=
=  ±1
Hence, 0, 1, −1 are three points of discontinuity.

Q.4 Answer:

f (x) = x2 −x
​ ​

Solution:

limx→1 f (x) does not exist.


(b) limx→1 f (x) = does not exist.


(c) limx→1 f (x) does not exist.


(d) limx→1 f (x) = −1 , therefore f (x) has

Q.7 Answer:
3
Solution:

1 1
t= x−1
is discontinuous at x
​ = 1. Also y = t2 +t−2
​ is discontinuous at t = −2
and t =1
1
When t = −2, x−1 = −2 ⇒ x = 12 ​ ​

1
When t = 1, x−1 ⇒x=2 ​

So, y = f (x) is discontinuous at three points x = 1, 12 , 2 ​

Q.8 Answer:
1 only
Solution:

x2 , x≥0
f : R → R, f (x) = {
−x, x < 0
​ ​

For continuity at x = 0 f (0 − 0) = limh→0 f (0 − h) ​

= limh→0 [(0 − h)] = limh→0 h = 0


​ ​
f (0 + 0) = limh→0 f (0 + h) = limh→0 (0 + h)2 = 0
​ ​

and f (0) = 0 f(x) is continuous at x = 0


−(−h)−0
For differentiability at x = 0 limh→0 = limh→0 = h
−h
​ ​ ​

−h

= −1
f (0+h)−f (0)
and limh→0 h

= limh→0 h = 0 ​ ​

f(x) is not differentiable at x − 0

Q.9 Answer:
p>0
Solution:

Given function is defined as :


xp cos ( x1 ) x 
=0
f (x) = {

0, x=0

For continuity:
LHS : limx→0 f (x) = RHS limx→0 f (x) = f (0)

⇒ limx→0 f(x) = limx→0 xp cos ( x1 ) = 0


​ ​ ​

⇒ limx→0 xp cos ( x1 ) = 0
​ ​

cos ( x1 ) is always a finite quantity if x → 0 ⇒ xp = 0


which is possible only if p > 0

Q.10 Answer:
is discontinuous
Solution:
x/1+x x/1+x
For x  0, we have, f (x) = x +
= 1
1− 1+x ​

=x+ x/1+x

=x+1
x + 1, x  =0
For x = 0, f (x) = 0. Thus, f (x) = {
0, x=0
​ ​

Clearly, limx→0− f (x) = limx→0+ f (x) = 1 =


​  f (0) ​

So, f(x) is discontinuous and hence not differentiable at x = 0.

Q.11 Answer:

Q.13 Answer:
1
Solution:

Let x = a ∈ Q; f (a) = a
f (a+ ) = 1 − a or a ; f (a− ) = 1 − a or a
continuous at where 1 − a = a ⇒ a = 1/2
⇒ continuous at one point.

Q.14 Answer:
3 only
Solution:

For x ≥ 0 limx→1 f (x) = limx→1 2 + x = 2 + 1 = 3


​ ​

For x < 0
limx→1 f (x) = limx→1 2 − x = 2 − 1 = 1
​ ​

So, limx→1 f (x) does not exist. At x = 0 RHL: limh→0+ f (0 + h) = limh→0 2 + h = 2


​ ​ ​

LHL : limh→0− f (0 − h) = limh→0 2 − h = 2


​ ​

f (0) = 2 + 0 = 2.
So, RHL = LHL = f (0)
⇒ f (x) is continuous at x = 0 Differentiability at x = 0
f (0 − h) − f (0) 2+h−2

RHD : lim+ ​ = lim+ =1 ​ ​ ​

h→0 h h→0 h
Since LHD = RHD So, f (x) is not differentiable at x = 0.

Q.15 Answer:

Solution:

∵𝑓𝑥 is continuous at 𝑥 = 3
∴ lim 𝑓𝑥 = 𝑓3
𝑥→3
232 + 3 = 𝑎32 + 𝑏3 + 1
9𝑎 + 3𝑏 = 20 . . . 1
4𝑥 ; 𝑥>3
Now, 𝑓' 𝑥 =
2𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏 ; 𝑥 < 3
∵𝑓𝑥 is also differentiable at 𝑥 = 3
∴43 = 2𝑎3 + 𝑏
6𝑎 + 𝑏 = 12 . . . 2
From 1 & 2, we get,

RHL = lim 𝑓0 + ℎ = lim 1 = lim 1 =𝑒
ℎ → 0+ ℎ → 0+ 𝑒 ℎ + 1 ℎ → 0 1 + 𝑒- ℎ
and 𝑓0 = 𝑏
∵ 𝑓𝑥 is continuous at 𝑥 = 0
∴ -𝑎 = 𝑒 = 𝑏 ⇒ 𝑎 = -𝑒
𝑎 2 = 𝑒2

Q.18 Answer:
differentiable ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝑅 - -1, 1
Solution:
1-𝑥 : 𝑥 ≤ -1
𝑓𝑥 = 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
𝑓1 = 2, 𝑓1- = 2
𝑓1+ = 1 + 1 = 2
∵𝑓1- = 𝑓1 = 𝑓1+
∴ continuous at 𝑥 = 1
For differentiability,
−1 𝑥 < −1
𝑓' 𝑥 = 0 −1 < 𝑥 < 1
1 𝑥>1
at 𝑥 = - 1,
𝑓' -1- = - 1, 𝑓-1+ = 0
∵𝑓' −1− ≠ 𝑓' −1+ ⇒ non-differentiable
at 𝑥 = 1,
𝑓' 1- = 0, 𝑓' 1+ = 1
∵𝑓' 1− ≠ 𝑓' 1+ ⇒ non-differentiable

Q.19 Answer:
6
Solution:

f (x) = [x3 − 3]
(1.26)3 = 2 − 3 = −1; (1.44)3 = 3 − 3 = 0
Similarly, we can check for other points where f (x) changes values to 1, 2, 3, 4. ∴ Total number of
points of discontinuity are ' 6 '
