Let $$a$$ is a rational number other than 0, in $$\left[ { - 5,\,5} \right],$$ then
$$f\left( a \right) = a\,\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,\,\,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to a} f\left( x \right) = - a$$
[As in the immediate neighborhood of a rational number, we find irrational numbers]
$$\therefore f\left( x \right)$$ is not continuous at any rational number
If $$a$$ is irrational number, then
$$f\left( a \right) = - a\,\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,\,\,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to a} f\left( x \right) = a$$
$$\therefore f\left( x \right)$$ is not continuous at any irrational number clearly
$$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} f\left( x \right) = f\left( 0 \right) = 0$$
$$\therefore f\left( x \right)$$ is continuous at $$x =0$$
2.
Consider the following statements : 1. The function $$f\left( x \right) = $$ greatest integer $$ \leqslant x,\,x\, \in \,R$$ is a continuous function. 2. All trigonometric function are continuous on $$R.$$
Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?
Here, greatest integer function $$\left[ x \right]$$ is discontinuous at its integral value of $$x,\,\cot \,x$$ and $${\text{cosec}}\,x\,$$ are discontinuous at $$0,\,\pi ,\,2\pi $$ etc. and $$\tan \,x$$ and $$sec \,x$$ are discontinuous at $$x = \frac{\pi }{2},\,\frac{{3\pi }}{2},\,\frac{{5\pi }}{2}$$ etc. Therefore the greatest integer function and all trigonometric function are not continuous for $$x\, \in \,R$$
Therefore, neither (1) nor (2) are true.
3.
The set of points of discontinuity of the function $$f\left( x \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \frac{{{{\left( {2\,\sin \,x} \right)}^{2n}}}}{{{3^n} - {{\left( {2\,\cos \,x} \right)}^{2n}}}}$$ is given by :
A.
$$R$$
B.
$$\left\{ {n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{3},\,n \in \,I} \right\}$$
C.
$$\left\{ {n\pi \pm \frac{\pi }{6},\,n \in \,I} \right\}$$
4.
Let $$f\left( x \right) = g\left( x \right).\frac{{{e^{\frac{1}{x}}} - {e^{ - \frac{1}{x}}}}}{{{e^{\frac{1}{x}}} + {e^{ - \frac{1}{x}}}}},$$ where $$g$$ is a continuous function then $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} f\left( x \right)$$ does not exist if :
A.
$$g\left( x \right)$$ is any constant function
B.
$$g\left( x \right) = x$$
C.
$$g\left( x \right) = {x^2}$$
D.
$$g\left( x \right) = x\,h\left( x \right),$$ where $$h\left( x \right)$$ is a polynomial
Answer :
$$g\left( x \right)$$ is any constant function
5.
Let $$f\left( {x + y} \right) = f\left( x \right) + f\left( y \right)$$ and $$f\left( x \right) = {x^2}g\left( x \right)$$ for all $$x,\,y\, \in \,R,$$ where $$g\left( x \right)$$ is continuous function. Then $$f'\left( x \right)$$ is equal to :
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{We have }}f'\left( x \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{f\left( {x + h} \right) - \left( x \right)}}{h} \cr
& = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{f\left( x \right) + f\left( h \right) - f\left( x \right)}}{h} \cr
& = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{f\left( h \right)}}{h} \cr
& = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{{{h^2}g\left( h \right)}}{h} \cr
& = 0.g\left( 0 \right) \cr
& = 0 \cr
& \left[ {\because \,g{\text{ is continuous therefore }}\mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} g\left( h \right) = g\left( 0 \right)} \right] \cr} $$
6.
Let $$f\left( x \right) = \int_0^x {t\,\sin \frac{1}{t}dt} .$$ Then the number of points of discontinuity of the function $$f\left( x \right)$$ in the open interval $$\left( {0,\,\pi } \right)$$ is :
$$f'\left( x \right) = x\,\sin \,\frac{1}{x}.$$ At all points in $$\left( {0,\,\pi } \right),\,f'\left( x \right)$$ has a definite finite value.
$$\therefore f\left( x \right)$$ is differentiable finitely in $$\left( {0,\,\pi } \right).$$ As a finitely differentiable function is also continuous, we get $$f\left( x \right)$$ is continuous in $$\left( {0,\,\pi } \right).$$
7.
Let $$f\left( x \right) = \left[ {{x^3} - 3} \right],\,\left[ x \right] = {\text{G}}{\text{.I}}{\text{.F}}{\text{.}}$$ Then the number of points in the interval $$\left( {1,\,2} \right)$$ where function is discontinuous is :
$$\eqalign{
& f\left( x \right) = \left[ {{x^3} - 3} \right] \cr
& {\left( {1.26} \right)^3} = 2 - 3 = - 1\,;\,{\left( {1.44} \right)^3} = 3 - 3 = 0 \cr} $$
Similarly, we can check for other points where $$f\left( x \right)$$ changes values to $$1,\,2,\,3,\,4$$
$$\therefore $$ Total number of points of discontinuity are '6'
8.
Let $$f\left( x \right) = \frac{{1 - \tan \,x}}{{4x - \pi }},\,\,x \ne \frac{\pi }{4},\,x \in \left[ {0,\,\,\frac{\pi }{2}} \right].$$ If $$f\left( x \right)$$ is continuous in $$\left[ {0,\,\,\frac{\pi }{2}} \right]$$ then $$f\left( {\frac{\pi}{4}} \right)$$ is-
9.
Let $$f\left( x \right) = - 1 + \left| {x - 2} \right|,$$ and $$g\left( x \right) = 1 - \left| x \right|;$$ then the set of all points where $$fog$$ is discontinuous is :
\[\begin{array}{l}
f\left( {g\left( x \right)} \right) = f\left( {1 - \left| x \right|} \right) = - 1 + \left| {\left| x \right| + 1} \right|\\
{\rm{Let\,\, }}fog = y\\
\therefore \,y = - 1 + \left| {\left| x \right| + 1} \right| \Rightarrow y\left\{ \begin{array}{l}
\,\,\,x,\,\,\,\,x \ge 0\\
- x,\,\,\,\,x < 0
\end{array} \right.
\end{array}\]
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{L}}{\text{.H}}{\text{.L}}{\text{. at }}\left( {x = 0} \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \left( { - x} \right) = 0 \cr
& {\text{R}}{\text{.H}}{\text{.L}}{\text{. at }}\left( {x = 0} \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \left( x \right) = 0 \cr
& {\text{When }}x = 0,{\text{ then }}y = 0 \cr
& {\text{Hence, L}}{\text{.H}}{\text{.L}}{\text{. at }}\left( {x = 0} \right) = {\text{ R}}{\text{.H}}{\text{.L at }}\left( {x = 0} \right) = {\text{value of }}y{\text{ at }}\left( {x = 0} \right) \cr} $$
Hence, $$y$$ is continuous at $$x = 0$$
Clearly at all other point $$y$$ continuous. Therefore, the set of all points where $$fog$$ is discontinuous is an empty set.
