MCQ
Choose the correct answers from the given four options:The function $\text{f(x)}=\text{e}^{|\text{x}|}$ is:
  • Continuous everywhere but not differentiable at $x = 0.$
  • B
    Continuous and differentiable everywhere.
  • C
    Not continuous at $x = 0.$
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Continuous everywhere but not differentiable at $x = 0.$
Let $\text{u(x)}=|\text{x}|$ and $\text{v(x)}=\text{e}^\text{x}$
$\therefore\ \text{f(x)}=\text{vou(x)}=\text{v}[\text{u(x)]}$
$=\text{v}|\text{x}|=\text{e}^{|\text{x}|}$
Since$, u(x)$ and $v(x)$ are both continuous functions.
So$, f(x)$ is also continuous function but $u(x) = |x|$ is not differentiable at $x = 0,$
where as $v(x) = e^x$ is differentiable at everywhere.
Hence$, f(x)$ is continuous everywhere but not differentiable at $x = 0.$
