MCQ
Define $g(x)=\int \limits_{-3}^3 f(x-y) f(y) d y$, for all real $x$, where $f(t)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}1, & 0 \leq t \leq 1 \\ 0, & \text { else where }\end{array}\right.$ Then,
  • A
    $g(x)$ is not continuous everywhere
  • B
    $g(x)$ is continuous everywhere but differentiable nowhere
  • C
    $g(x)$ is continuous everywhere and differentiable everywhere except at $x=0,1$
  • $g(x)$ is continuous everywhere and differentiable everywhere except at $x=0,1,2$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$g(x)$ is continuous everywhere and differentiable everywhere except at $x=0,1,2$
d
(d)

We have,

$\begin{array}{c} g(x)=\int \limits_{-3}^3 f(x-y) f(y) d y \\ f(t)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} 1, \quad 0 \leq t \leq 1 \\ 0, \quad \text { else where } \end{array}\right. \\ g(x)=\int \limits_{-3}^0 g(x-y) f(y) d y \end{array}$

$+\int \limits_0^1 f(x-y) f(y) d y$

$+\int \limits_1^3 f(x-y) f(y) d y$

Put $x-y=t \Rightarrow-d y=d t$

$\Rightarrow \quad g(x)=-\int \limits_x^{x-1} f(t) d t \Rightarrow g(x)=\int \limits_{x-1}^x f(t) d t$

Put $x-y=t \Rightarrow-d y=d t$

$\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow \quad g(x)=-\int_x^{x-1} f(t) d t \Rightarrow g(x)=\int_{x-1}^x f(t) d t \\ \Rightarrow \quad g(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} 0, & x \leq 0 \\ x, & 0 < x < 1 \\ 2-x, & 1 \leq x \leq 2 \\ 0, & x > 2 \end{array}\right. \end{array}$

Clearly, $g(x)$ is continues at for all $x$

$g^{\prime}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} 0, & x \leq 0 \\ 1, & 0 < x < 1 \\-1, & 1 \leq x \leq 2 \\ 0, & x > 2 \end{array}\right.$

$g(x)$ is not differentiable at $0,1,2$
