MCQ
$f:[-1,1] \rightarrow R$ be a function defined by $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cl}x^2 \mid \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{x}\right) & \text { for } x \neq 0 \\ 0 & \text { for } x=0\end{array}\right.$

The set of points where $f$ is not differentiable is

  • A
    $\{x \in[-1,1]: x \neq 0\}$
  • B
    $\left\{x \in[-1,1]: x=0\right.$ or $\left.x=\frac{2}{2 n+1}, n \in Z\right\}$
  • $\left\{x \in[-1,1]: x=\frac{2}{2 n+1}, n \in Z\right\}$
  • D
    $[-1,1]$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\left\{x \in[-1,1]: x=\frac{2}{2 n+1}, n \in Z\right\}$
c
(c)

We have,

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} x^2 \mid \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{x}\right) & \text { for } x \neq 0 \\ 0 & \text { for } x=0 \end{array}\right.$

$f(x)$ is not differentiable at

$\cos \frac{\pi}{x} \mid =0$

$\cos \frac{\pi}{x} =0 \Rightarrow \frac{\pi}{x}=(2 n+1) \frac{\pi}{2}$

$\cos \frac{\pi}{x}=0 \Rightarrow \frac{\pi}{x}=(2 n+1) \frac{\pi}{2}$

$x=\frac{2}{2 n+1}$

$\because f(x)$ is not differentiable at

$x \in[-1,1]: x=\frac{2}{2 n+1}, n \in Z$
