MCQ
If $\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}\frac{|\text{x}+2|}{\tan^{-1}(\text{x}+2)}, & \text{x}\neq-2\\2, & \text{x}=-2\end{cases},$ then f(x) is:
  • A
    Continuous at x = -2
  • Not continuous at x = -2
  • C
    Diffrentiable at x = -2
  • D
    Continuous but nit derivable at x = -2

Answer

Correct option: B.
Not continuous at x = -2
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow-2}\frac{|\text{x}+2|}{\tan^{-1}(\text{x}+2)}$

Let, x = -2 + h

x → -2 ⇒ h → 0

$\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{|-2+\text{h}+2|}{\tan^{-1}(-2+\text{h}+2)}$

$\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{\text{h}}{\tan^{-1}\text{h}}=1$

$\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\frac{|\text{x}+2|}{\tan^{-1}(\text{x}+2)}\neq\text{f}(-2)$

Function is not continuous at x = -2.
