Q1: Prove that the function f(x)=5x−3 is continuous


at x=0, at x=−3 and at x=5.
Sol:

The given function is f(x)=5x−3


At x=0, f(0)=5×0−3=−3
limx→0f(x)=limx→0(5x−3)=5×0−3=−3 therefore,limx→0f(x)=f(0)
So, f is continuous at x=0

At x=−3,f(−3)=5×(−3)−3=−18
limx→−3f(x)=limx→−3(5x−3)−3=−18 therefore,limx→−3f(x)=f(−3)
So , f is continuous at x=-3

At x=5,f(x)=f(5)= (5×5) – 3=25-3=22

limx→5f(x)=limx→5(5x−3)=5×5−3=22 therefore,limx→0f(x)=f(5)
So , f is continuous at x=5

Q2 : Examine the continuity of the function f(x)=2x2−1 at x=3.


Sol:

The given function is f(x)=2x2−1


At x=3, f(x)=f(3) =2x 3^{^{2}}-1=17
limx→3f(x)=limx→3(2x2−1)=2×32−1=17 therefore,limx→3f(x)=f(3)
Thus, f is continuous at x=3

Q3: Examine the following function for continuity.


1. f(x)=x−5
2. f(x)=1x−5,x≠5
3. f(x)=x2−25x+5,x≠−5
4. f(x)=|x−5|
Sol:

1. The given function is f(x)=x−5


It is evident that f is defined at every real number
k is k-5.
It is also observed that limx→kf(x)=limx→k(x−5)=k−5=f(k).
therefore,limx→kf(x)=f(k)
Hence, f is continuous at every real number and
therefore, it is continuous function.

(b) The given function is f(x)=1x−5,x≠5


For any real number k ≠5, we obtain
limx→kf(x)=limx→k1x−5=1k−5
Also, f(k)=1k−5(ask≠5)
therefore,limx→kf(x)=f(k)
Hence, f is continuous at every point in the domain of
f and therefore, it is a continuous function.
(c) The given function is f(x)=x2−25x+5,x≠−5
For any real number c≠−5, we obtain
limx→cf(x)=limx→cx2−25x+5=limx→c(x+5)(x−5)x+5=limx→c(x−5)=(c−5)
Also,f(c)=(c+5)(c−5)c+5=(c−5)(asc≠−5)
therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
Hence, f is continuous at every point in the domain of f and therefore, it is a continuous
function.
(d) The function is f(x)=|x−5|
={5−x,x−5,ifx<5ifx≥5
This function f is determined at all points of the real line.
Let c be a point on a real line. Then, c<5 or c=5
or c>5
Case 1: c<5
Then, f(c)=5−c
limx→cf(x)=limx→c(5−x)=5−c therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
Therefore f is continuous at all real number less than 5.
Case 2: c=5
Then, f(c)=f(5)=(5−5)=0
limx→5f(x)=limx→5(5−x)=(5−5)=0 limx→5f(x)=limx→5(x−5)=(5−5)=0 therefore,li
mx→c−f(x)=limx→c+=f(c)
So f is continuous at x=5
Case 3: c>5
Then, f(c)=f(5)=c−5
limx→cf(x)=limx→c(x−5)=c−5 therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)

Q4: Prove that the function f(x)=xn is continuous at x=n, where n is a positive integer.
Sol:

Given function f(x)=xn


It is obvious that f is to be defined at all positive integers, n and its value at n is nn.
Then limx→nf(n)=limx→n(xn)=nn
therefore,limx→nf(x)=f(n)
So, f is continuous at n for all positive values of n.

Q5: Is the function f given by f(x)={x5 if x≤1 if x>1


continuous at x=0,1,2?
Sol:

The given function f is f(x)={x5 if x≤1 if x>1


Case 1: At x=0
It is evident that f is defined at 0 and its value is 0.

Then,limx→0f(x)=limx→0x=0
therefore,limx→0f(x)=f(0)
Therefore, f is continuous at x=0

Case 2: At x=1,
It is evident that f is defined at 1 and its value at 1 is 1.
The left hand limit of fatx=1is,
limx→1−f(x)=limx→1−(5)=5
The right hand limit of f at x=1is,
limx→1+f(x)=limx→1+(5)=5 therefore,limx→1−f(x)≠limx→1+f(x)
So, f is not continuous at x=1.
Case 3: At x=2
f is defined at 2 and its value at 2 is 5.
Then limx→2f(x)=limx→2(5)=5
therefore,limx→2f(x)=f(2)
Therefore, f is continuous at x=2

Q6: Find all the points of discontinuity of f, where f


Is defined by

f(x)={2x+32x−3 if x≤2 if x>2


Sol:

The given function is f(x)={2x+32x−3 if x≤2 if x>2


It is necessary that the given function f(x) is defined at all the points of the real line.
(i) c<2
(ii) c>2
(iii) c=2
Case (i) c<2
Then,f(c)=2c+3
limx→cf(x)=limx→c(2x+3)=2c+3 therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
So, f is continuous at all points x, such that x<2
Case (ii) c>2
Then, f(c)=2c+3
limx→cf(x)=limx→c(2c+3)=2c+3 therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
So, f is continuous at all points x, such that x>2
Case (iii) c=2
Then, the left hand limit of f at x=2 is,
limx→2−f(x)=limx→2−(2x+3))=2×2+3=7
The right hand limit of f at x =2 is,
limx→2+f(x)=limx→2+(2x−3))=2×2−3=1
It is observed that the left hand limit of f at x=2 do not coincide.
Therefore, f is not continuous at x=2
Hence, x=2 is the only point of discontinuity of f.

The given function f is f(x)=⎧⎩⎨|x|+3,−2x,6x+2, if x≤−3 if −3<x<3 if x≥3


The given function f is defined at all the points of the real line.
Let c be a point on the real line.

Case 1:

If c<−3, then f(c)=−c+3


limx→cf(x)=limx→c(−x+3)=−c+3 therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
So, f is continuous at all points x, such that x<−3
Case 2:

If c=−3, then f(−3)=−(−3)=3=6


limx→3−f(x)=limx→3−(−x+3)=−(−3)+3=6 limx→3+f(x)=limx→3+(−2x)=−2×(−3)=6 t
herefore,limx→3+f(x)=f(−3)
So, f is continuous at x=−3.
Case 3:

If −3<x<3, then f(c)=−2c and limx→cf(x)=limx→c(−2x)=−2c


therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
So, f is continuous in (−3,3).
Case 4:

If c=3, then the left hand limit of f at x=3 is,


limx→3−f(x)=limx→3−(−2x)=−2×3=−6
The right hand limit of f at x=3 is,
limx→3+f(x)=limx→3+(6x+2)=6×+2=20
It is observed that the left hand limit and right hand limit of f at x=3 do not coincide.
Therefore, f is not continuous at x=3.
Case 5:

If c>3, then f(c)=5c+2 and limx→cf(x)=limx→c(6x+2)=6c+2


therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
So, f is continuous at all points x, such that x>3
Hence, x=3 is the only point of discontinuity of f.

f(x)={|x|x0, if x≠0 if x=0
Sol:

The given function f is f(x)={|x|x0, if x≠0


if x=0
It is known that, x<0⇒|x|=−x and x>0⇒|x|=x
Therefore, the given function can be rewritten as

f(x)=⎧⎩⎨⎪⎪⎪⎪|x|x=−xx=−1,0,|x|x=xx=1, if x<0 if x=0 if x>0


The function f is defined at all the points of the real line.
Let c be a point on a real line.
Case 1:

limx→cf(x)=limx→c(−1)=−1 therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all points x<0
Case 2:

If c=0 then the left hand limit of f at x=0 is,


limx→0−f(x)=limx→0−(−1)=−1
the right hand limit of f at x=0 is,
limx→0+f(x)=limx→0+(1)=1
It is observed that the left hand limit and right hand limit of f at x=0 do not coincide.
Therefore, f is not continuous at x=0.
Case 3:

If c>0, then f(c)=1


limx→cf(x)=limx→c(1)=1 therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
So, f is continuous at x>0

f(x)={x|x|,−1, if x<0 if x≥0
Sol:

The given function f(x)={x|x|,−1, if x<0 if x≥0


It is known that, x<0⇒|x|=−x
Therefore, the given function can be rewritten as

f(x)={x|x|=x−x=−1,−1, if x<0 if x≥0


⇒f(x)=−1 for all x∈R
Let c be any real number. Then, limx→cf(x)=limx→c(−1)=−1
Also, f(c)=−1=limx→cf(x)
Therefore, the given function is a continuous function.

Let c be a point on the real line.

Case 1:

If c<1, then f(c)=c2+1 and limx→cf(x)=limx→c(x2+1)=(c2+1)


therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all points x, such that x<1.

If c=1, then f(c)=f(1)=1+1=2


The right hand limit of f at x=1 is,
limx→1+f(x)=limx→1+(x2+1)=12+1=2
The left hand limit of f at x=1 is,
limx→1−f(x)=limx→1−(x2+1)=12+1=2 therefore,limx→1f(x)=f(c)
So, f is continuous at x=1.
Case 3:

If c>1, then f(c)=c+1


limx→cf(x)=limx→c(x+1)=c+1 therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)

Let c be a point on the real line.

Case1:

If c<2, then f(c)=c3−3 and limx→cf(x)=limx→c(x3−3)=c3−3


therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
So, f is continuous at all points of x, such that x<2.
Case 2:

If c=2, then f(c)=f(2)=23−3=5


The right hand limit of f at x=2 is,
limx→2+f(x)=limx→2+(x2+1)=22+1=5
The left hand limit of f at x=2 is,
limx→2−f(x)=limx→2−(x3−3)=23−3=5 therefore,limx→2f(x)=f(2)
So, f is continuous at x=2.
Case 3:

If c>2, then f(c)=c2+1


limx→cf(x)=limx→c(x2+1)=c2+1 therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
So, f is continuous at all points of x, such that x>2.
Thus, the given function f is continuous at every point on the real line.
Hence, the given function f has no point of discontinuity.

Q12: Find all points of discontinuity of f, where f is defined by

limx→1−f(x)=limx→1−(x10−1)=110−1=1−1=0
The right hand limit of f at x=1 is,
limx→1+f(x)=limx→1+(x2)=12=1

The given function is defined at all points of the interval [0,10].
Let c be a point in the interval [0,10].
Case 1:

If 0≤c≤1, then f(c)=3 and limx→cf(x)=limx→c(3)=3


therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous in the interval [0,1].
Case 2:

If c=1, then f(3)=3


The left hand limit of f at x=1 is,
limx→1−f(x)=limx→1−(3)=3
The right hand limit of f at x=1 is,
limx→1+f(x)=limx→1+(4)=4

Therefore, f is not continuous at x=3.
Case 5:

If 3<c≤10 then f(c)=5 and limx→cf(x)=limx→cf(5)=5


therefore, f is continuous at all points of the interval (3,10].

Case 2:

If c=0, then f(c)f(0)=0


The left hand limit of f at x=0 is,
limx→0−f(x)=limx→0−(2x)=2×0=0

limx→1+f(x)=limx→1+(4x)=4×1=4
It is observed that the left hand and right hand limits of f at x=1 do not coincide.
Therefore, f is not continuous at x=1.
Case 5:

If c<1, then f(c)=4c


limx→cf(x)=limx→c(4x)=4c therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)

Case 1:

If c<−1, then f(c)=−2


limx→cf(x)=limx→c(−2)=−2 therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all points x such that x<−1.
Case 2:

If c=−1, then f(c)=f(−1)=−2


The left hand limit of f at x=−1 is,
limx→−1−f(x)=limx→−1−(−2)=−2
The right hand limit of f at x=−1 is,
limx→−1+f(x)=limx→−1+(2x)=2×(−1)=−2 therefore,limx→−1f(x)=f(−1)
Therefore, f is continuous at x=−1.
Case 3:

If −1<c<1, then f(c)=2c


limx→cf(x)=limx→c(2x)=2c therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)

The left hand limit of f at x=1 is,
limx→1−f(x)=limx→1−(2x)=2×1=2
The right hand limit of f at x=1 is,
limx→1+f(x)=limx→1+(2)=2 therefore,limx→1f(x=f(c))
Therefore, f is continuous at x=2
Case 5:

If c>1, then f(c)=2


limx→cf(x)=limx→c(2)=2 limx→cf(x)=f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all points x such that x>1.

line.

Q17: Find the relationship between a and b so that the function f is defined by
f(x)={ax−1,bx+3, if x≤3 if x>3
is continuous at x=3.
Sol:

The given function f is f(x)={ax−1,bx+3, if x≤3 if x>3


If f is continuous at x−3, then
limx→3−f(x)=limx→3−f(x)=f(3)…..(1)
Also,

The left hand limit of f at x=3 is,


limx→3−f(x)=limx→3−(ax+1)=3a+1
The left hand limit of f at x=3 is,
limx→3+f(x)=limx→3+(bx+3)=3b+3 f(3)=3a+1
Therefore, from (1) we obtain

3a+1-3b+3-3a+1

⇒3a+1−3b−3 ⇒3a=3b+2 ⇒a−b=23


Therefore, the required relationship is given by, ⇒a−b=23

Q18: For what value of λ, is the function defined by


f(x)={λ(x2−2x),4x+1, if x≤0 if x>0
continuous at x=0? What about continuity at x=1?
Sol:

The given function f is f(x)={λ(x2−2x),4x+1, if x≤0 if x>0


If f is continuous at x=0, then
limx→0−f(x)=limx→0+f(x)=f(0) ⇒limx→0−λ(x2−2x)=limx→0+(4x+1) ⇒λ(02−2×0)=(
4×0−1)
⇒0=1 which is not possible.
Therefore, there is no value of λ for which the function f is continuous at x=0.
At x=1,
f(1)=4x+1=4×1+1=5 limx→1f(1)=4x+1=4×1+1=5 therefore,limx→1f(x)=f(1)
Therefore, for any values of λ, f is continuous at x=1.

Q19: Show that the function defined by g(x)=x−[x] is discontinuous at all integral points.
Hence [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x.
Sol:

The given function is g(x)=x−[x]


It is evident that g is defined at all integral points.
Let n be an integer.
Then,

g(n)=n−[n]=n−n=0
Then left hand limit of f at x=n is,
limx→n−g(x)=limx→n−(x−[x])=limx→n−(x)−limx→n−[x]=n−(n−1)=1
Then right hand limit of f at x=n is,
limx→n+g(x)=limx→n+(x−[x])=limx→n+(x)−limx→n+[x]=n−n=0
It is observed that the left and right hand limits of f at x=n do not coincide.
Therefore, f is not continuous at x=n
Hence, g is discontinuous at all integral points.

Q20: Is the function defined by f(x)=x2−sinx+5 is continuous at x?


Sol:

The given function is f(x)=x2−sinx+5


It is evident that f is defined at x
At x=π, f(x)=f(π)=π2−sinπ+5=π2−0+5=π2+5
Consider limx→πf(x)=limx→π(x2−sinx+5)
Put x=π+h
If x→π, then it is evident that h→0
therefore,limx→πf(x)=limx→π(x2−sinx+5) =limx→0[(π+h)2−sin(π+h)+5]=limx→0(
π+h)2−limx→0sin(π+h)+limx→05 =(π+0)2−limh→0[sinπcosh+cosπsinh]+5 =π2−sin
πcos0−cosπsin0+5 =π2−0×1−(−1)×0+5 =π2+5 =therefore,limx→πf(x)=f(π)
Therefore, the given function is continuous at x=π

Q21: Discuss the continuity of the following functions.

1. f(x)=sinx+cosx
2. f(x)=sinx−cosx
3. f(x)=sinx×cosx
Sol:

It is known that if g and g are two continuous functions, then


g+h,g−h,g.h are also continuous functions.
It has to be proved first that g(x)=sinx and h(x)=cosx are continuous functions.
Let g(x)=sinx
It is evident that g(x)=sinx is defined for every real number.
Let c be a real number.
Put x=c+h
If XA~Ca^ϵc,thenhA~Ca^ϵ0
h(c)−cosc limx→ch(x)=limx→ccosx =limh→0cos(c+h) =limh→0cos[cosccosh−sincs
inh] =limh→0coscosccosh−limh→0sincsinh =coscosccos0−sincsin0 =cosc×1−sinc

(i) h(x)g(x),g(x)≠0 is continuous
(ii) 1g(x),g(x)≠0 is continuous
(iii) 1h(x),h(x)≠0 is continuous
It has to be proved first that g(x)=sinx and h(x)=cosx are continuous functions
Let g(x)=sinx
It is evident that g(x)=sinx is defined for every real number.
Let c be a real number. Put x→c+h

Sol:

The given function f is f(x)={sinxx,x−1, if x<0 if x≥0


It is evident that f is defined at all the points of the real line.
Let c be a real number.
Case 1:

If c<0,thenf(c)=sincc and limx→cf(x)=limx→c(sinxx)=(sincc)


therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all the points x, such that x<0.
Case 2:

If c>0,thenf(c)=c+1 and limx→cf(x)=limx→c(x+1)=(c+1)


therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all the points x, such that x>0.
Case 3:

If c=0,thenf(c)=f(0)=0+1=1
The left hand limit of f at x is,
limx→0−f(x)=limx→0−sinxx=1
The right hand limit of f at x is,
limx→0+f(x)=limx→0+(x+1)=1 therefore,limx→0−f(x)=limx→0+f(x)=f(0)
Therefore, f is continuous at x=0
From the above observation, it can be concluded that f is continuous at all points of the real line.
Thus, f has no point of discontinuity.

Case 1:

If c≠0,thenf(c)=c2sin frac1c
limx→cf(x)=limx→c(x2sin1x)=(limx→cx2)(limx→csin1x)=c2sin1c therefore,limx→cf(
x)=f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all the points x, such that x≠0.
Case 2:

If c=0,thenf(0)=0
limx→0−f(x)=limx→0−(x2sin1x)=limx→0−(x2sin1x)
It is known that, 1≤sin1x≤1,x≠0
⇒−x2≤sin1x≤x2 ⇒limx→0(−x2)limx→0≤limx→0(sin1x)≤limx→0(x2) ⇒0limx→0≤limx
→0(sin1x)≤0 ⇒limx→0(sin1x)=0 therefore,limx→0−f(x)=0
Similarly, limx→0+f(x)=limx→0+x2sin1x=0
therefore,limx→0−f(x)=f(0)=limx→0+f(0)
Therefore, f is continuous at x=0
From the above observation, it can be concluded that f is continuous at all points of the real line.
Thus, f has no point of discontinuity.

limx→cf(x)=limx→c(sinx−cosx)=sinc−cosc therefore,limx→cf(x)=f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all the points x, such that x≠0.
Case 2:

If c=0,thenf(0)=−1
limx→0−f(x)=limx→0−(sinx−cosx)=sin0−cos0=0−1=−1 limx→0+f(x)=limx→0+(sinx
−cosx)=sin0−cos0=0−1=−1 therefore,limx→0−f(x)=f(0)=limx→0+f(0)
Therefore, f is continuous at x=0
From the above observation, it can be concluded that f is continuous at all points of the real line.
Thus, f is a continuous function.

of f at x=2equals the limit of fatx=2
It is evident that f is defined at x=2 and f(2)=k(2)2=4k
limx→2−f(x)=limx→2+f(x)=f(2) ⇒limx→2−(kx2)=limx→2+3=4k ⇒(k×22)=3=4k ⇒4k
=3 ⇒k=34

of f at x=5equals the limit of fatx=5
It is evident that f is defined at x=5 and f(5)=kx+1=5k+1
limx→5−f(x)=limx→5+f(x)=f(5) ⇒limx→5−(kx+1)=limx→5+(3x−5)=5k+1 ⇒(5k+1)=

Sol:

The given function k is f(x)=⎧⎩⎨5,ax+b,21, if x≤2 if 2<x<10 if x≥10


It is evident that the given function f is defined at all points of the real line.
If f is continuous function, then f is continuous at all real numbers.
In particular, f is continuous at x=2andx=10
Since f is continuous at x=2, we obtain
limx→2−f(x)=limx→2+f(x)=f(2) ⇒limx→2−(5)=limx→2+(ax+b)=5 ⇒5=2a+b=5 ⇒2a+
b=5……(1))
Since f is continuous at x=10, we obtain
limx→10−f(x)=limx→10+f(x)=f(10) ⇒limx→10−(ax+b)=limx→10+(21)=21 ⇒10a+b=2
1=21 ⇒10a+b=21……(2))
On subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we obtain

8a=16 a=2
By putting a=2 in equation (1), we obtain

limh→0−f(1+h)−f(1)h limh→0−f(c+h)−f(c)h=limh→0−|1+h−1|−|1−1|h =limh→0−|h|−|0|h =limh→0−−h


h =−1
Since the left and right hand limits of f at x = 1 are not equal, f is not differentiable at x = 1

Q10: Prove that the greatest integer function defined by f(x)=[x],0<x<3 is not
differentiable at x = 1 and x = 2.
Sol:

The function f is f(x)=[x],0<x<3


It is known that a function f is differentiable at a point x=c in its domain if both the left hand
and the left hand limit are equal
limh→0+f(c+h)−f(c)h and limh→0−f(c+h)−f(c)h are finite and equal.
To check the differentiability of the given function at x=1, consider the right hand limit of f
at x=1
limh→0+f(1+h)−f(1)h limh→0+[1+h]−[1]h =limh→0+1−1h =limh→0+1−1h=limh→0+(0)=0
Now consider the left hand limit of f at x=1
limh→0−f(1+h)−f(1)h limh→0−[1+h]−[1]h =limh→0−0−1h =limh→0−−1h=∞
Since left hand and the right hand limit of f at x=1 are not equal, f is not differentiable at x=1.

Now to check the differentiability of the given function at x=2,

consider the left hand limit at x=2.

limh→0−f(2+h)−f(2)h limh→0−[2+h]−[2]h =limh→0−1−2h =limh→0−−1h=∞


Now consider the right hand limit of f at x=2
limh→0+f(2+h)−f(2)h limh→0+[2+h]−[2]h =limh→0+2−2h =limh→0+0h=limh→0+(0)=0
Since the left and right hand limits of f at x = 2 are not equal, f is not differentiable at x = 2
