School/Board Exam. Type Questions`
Very Short Answer Type Questions :
1. Test the continuity of the following functions at x = 1.

⎧ x2  1
⎪ , x 1
f (x)  ⎨ x  1
⎪2 , x 1

⎧ x2  1
Sol. Given, f ( x )  ⎨⎪ x  1 ; x  1
⎪2 ; x 1

lim f ( x ) = lim
x 1 x 1 x  1

( x  1)( x  1)
= xlim
1 ( x  1)
=2
∵ lim f ( x )  f (1)
x 1

 f(x) is continuous at x = 1.

⎧ 2x  1 , x  0
2. Discuss the continuity of the function f(x) at x = 0, if f ( x )  ⎨
⎩ 2x  1 , x  0
Sol. Df = R, Let a R be arbitrary, then (where Df is the domain of ‘f’).
Case I : If a < 0, then we can find a neighbourhood of ‘a’, every point of which is less than 0.

 lim f ( x )  lim (2 x  1)  2a  1  f (a )
x a x a

 function f(x) is continuous at x < 0.

2 Continuity and Differentiability Solutions of Assignment (Set-1)

Case II : If a = 0, f(0) = 2(0) + 1 = 1

lim f ( x )  lim 2(0)  1  1


x  0 x  0

lim f ( x )  lim 2(0)  1  1


x  0 x 0

 The function f(x) is discontinuous at x = 0.


Case III : If a > 0, then we can find a neighbourhood of a every point of which is greater than 0.

 lim f ( x )  lim (2 x  1)  lim 2a  1


x a x a x a

Thus, f(x) is continuous at all points except at x = 0.

⎡ ⎤
Sol. Considering f(x) = (sin x + cos x) in ⎢ 0, ⎥ by the continuity of the sine function, the cosine function, the
⎣ 2⎦
sum of continuous function and the difference of continuous functions, it follows that f(x) is continuous on
⎡ ⎤
⎢ 0, 2 ⎥ .
⎣ ⎦

⎡ ⎤
Also, f(x) = (cos x – sin x), which clearly exists for all values of x  ⎢ 0, ⎥
⎣ 2⎦

⎤ ⎡ ⎛⎞
So, f(x) is differentiable on ⎥ 0, ⎢ . Also f (0)  f ⎜ ⎟  1.
⎦ 2⎣ ⎝2⎠
⎤ ⎡
Thus, all the conditions of Rolle’s theorem are satisfied. So, there must exist some c  ⎥ 0, ⎢ such that f(c)
⎦ 2⎣

Now, f(c) = 0  cos c – sin c = 0


 cos c = sin c  c 

29. Verify Lagrange’s mean value theorem for f ( x )  x 2  4 in the interval [2, 4].

Sol. Consider f ( x )  x 2  4 in [2, 4]


Clearly, f(x) has a definite and unique value for each x [2, 4]. So, at every point in [2, 4], the value of f(x)
is equal to limit of f(x).
So, f(x) is continuous on [2, 4]

x
Also, f ( x )  , which exist for all ]2, 4[.
x2  4
So, f(x) is differentiable on ]2, 4[
So there must exist some c ]2, 4[, such that

f (4)  f (2) 12  0
f (c )    3

Now, f (c )  3

41. Verify Rolle’s theorem for


f(x) = (x – 1) (x – 2)2 in [1, 2].
Sol. The given function is
f(x) = (x – 1) (x – 2)2 x [1, 2]
Clearly f(x) is a polynomial in x, therefore f(x) is differentiable and continuous everywhere.
 f(x) is continuous in [1, 2] and derivable on (1, 2)
Also, f(1) = 0 = f (2)
Hence all the conditions of Rolle’s theorem are satisfied for f(x) in [1, 2]
c (1, 2) satisfying f(c) = 0
Now from (i),
f(x) = 1 (x – 2)2 + (x – 1) (x – 2) (2)
= (x – 2) [(x – 2) + 2x – 2]
= (x – 2) [3x – 4]

f(c) = 0  c = 2 or

since c (1, 2), therefore c   ] 1, 2 [

Clearly f(x) is finite and unique for all x and hence f(x) is differentiable as well as continuous at all x.

the derivative of f(x) w.r.t. x.


Sol. Given [f(x)]n = f(nx)
Differentiating both side w.r.t. x, we get
n[f(x)]n – 1 f(x) = f(nx) . n
or [f(x)]n – 1 f(x) = f(nx)
Multiplying both side by f(x), we get

Sol. Domain = R.

Case III : If –3 < a < 3, then we can ‘a’ at all point lie between –3 and 3.

lim f ( x ) = lim ( 2x )


x a x a

= –2a = f(a)
 f is continuous at x = a, where x = a where a (–3, 3)
Case IV : If a = 3, then every neighbourhood of a contains point which are less than 3 and also points
which are greater than 3.
f(3) = 6 × 3 + 2 = 20

lim f ( x ) = lim ( 2 x )

and lim f ( x ) = lim (6 x  2)


x 3 x 3

lim f ( x )  lim f ( x )

f(x) is discontinuous at x = 3.
Case V : If a > 3,

lim f ( x ) = lim (6 x  2)

f(x) is continuous at x = a, where a > 3

f (x)  ⎨
⎪⎩ 4 x  1 , if x0
continuous at x = 0? What about continuity if f(x) at x = 1?
Sol. f(x) is continuous at x = 0

If lim f ( x )  f (0)  lim f ( x )


x 0 x 0

i.e., if lim  ( x 2  2 x )   (02  2  0)  lim (4 x  1)


x 0  x 0 

i.e., if (02 – 0) = 0 = 4 × 0 + 1
(0) = 1
Which is not possible for any real .
 f(x) is discontinuous at x = 0, whatever  may be.
However,

lim f ( x ) = lim ( x 2  2 x ) =  (1 + 2)
x 1 x 1

= 3 = f(–1) (∵ We can find a neighbourhood of –1, every point of which is less than 0).
 f(x) is continuous at x = –1.
Similarly, we can find a neighbourhood of 1, every point of which is greater than 0.

 lim f ( x ) = lim (4 x  1)
x 1 x 1

= 4(1) + 1 = 5 = f(1)
 f(x) is continuous at x = 1.

Sol. f(x) = x3 – 5x2 – 3x in the interval [1, 3]. The function is continuous in [1, 3] and differentiable in (1, 3) as its

Now, f(1) = 13 – 5(1)2 – 3(1)
