MCQ
For the function $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}\frac{{{e^{1/x}} - 1}}{{{e^{1/x}} + 1}},\,\,x \ne 0\\0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,,\,\,x = 0\end{array} \right.$, which of the following is correct
  • A
    $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} f(x)$ does not exist
  • B
    $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 0$
  • C
    $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} f(x) = 1$
  • $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} f(x)$ exists but $f(x)$ is not continuous at $x = 0$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} f(x)$ exists but $f(x)$ is not continuous at $x = 0$
d
(d) Given $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}\frac{{{e^{\frac{1}{x}}} - 1}}{{{e^{\frac{1}{x}}} + 1}}\,\,,\,\,x \ne 0\\0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,,\,x = 0\end{array} \right.$

==> $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} \frac{{{e^{\frac{1}{x}}} - 1}}{{{e^{\frac{1}{x}}} + 1}} = \frac{{{e^\infty } - 1}}{{{e^\infty } + 1}} = - 1$

==> $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} \frac{{{e^{\frac{1}{x}}} - 1}}{{{e^{\frac{1}{x}}} + 1}} = \frac{{1 - {e^{ - \frac{1}{x}}}}}{{1 + {e^{\frac{1}{x}}}}} = \frac{{1 - {e^{ - \infty }}}}{{1 + {e^\infty }}} = 1$

So, $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} f(x)$ exists at $x = 0$, but at $x = 0$ it is not continuous.
