Given function is :

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.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.9 Answer:
p>0
Solution:
0, x=0
For continuity:
LHS : limx→0 f (x) = RHS limx→0 f (x) = f (0)
⇒ limx→0 xp cos ( x1 ) = 0
Q.10 Answer:

Solution:
x/1+x x/1+x
For x 0, we have, f (x) = x +

1− 1+x
=x+ x/1+x
=x+1
x + 1, x =0
For x = 0, f (x) = 0. Thus, f (x) = {

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 = 1
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
LHD : lim− = lim−
−h −h
h→0 h→0
−h

h
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:
1
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,
16 4
9𝑎 = 16 ⇒ 𝑎 = 9
, 𝑏= 3
𝑎 16 / 9
∴ 2 = 2 =1
𝑏 4/3
Q.16 Answer:

𝑒 ℎ -𝑎 0-𝑎
LHL = lim 𝑓0 - ℎ = lim 1 = = -𝑎
-ℎ 0+1
ℎ → 0+ ℎ → 0+ 𝑒 +1

1+ -
𝑒 ℎ -𝑎 𝑒 - 𝑒 ℎ ×𝑎
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 '
Q.20 Answer:

2⋅(1/2)
∴ limx→0 f (x) =

=1
Hence, to make f (x) continuous at x = 0,
f (0) must be 1.
