MCQ
At the point $x = 1$, the given function $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}{x^3} - 1;\,\,1 < x < \infty \\x - 1;\,\, - \infty < x \le 1\end{array} \right.$ is
  • A
    Continuous and differentiable
  • Continuous and not differentiable
  • C
    Discontinuous and differentiable
  • D
    Discontinuous and not differentiable

Answer

Correct option: B.
Continuous and not differentiable
b
(b) We have $Rf'(1) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{f(1 + h) - f(1)}}{h}$

$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{\left\{ {{{(1 + h)}^3} - 1} \right\} - 0}}{h} = 3$

$Lf'(1) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{f(1 - h) - f(1)}}{{ - h}}$

$ = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,\,\frac{{\left\{ {(1 - h) - 1} \right\} - 0}}{{ - h}} = 1$

$\therefore \,\,\,Rf'(1) \ne Lf'(1)$ $ \Rightarrow \,\,f(x)$ is not differentiable at $x = 1.$

Now, $f(1 + 0) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,f(1 + h) = 0$

and $f(1 - 0) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0} \,f(1 - h) = 0$

$\therefore \,\,\,f(1 + 0) = f(1 - 0) = f(0)$

$ \Rightarrow \,\,f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 1.$

Hence at $x = 1,\,\,\,f(x)$ is continuous and not differentiable.
