MCQ
The function $f(x) = |x|$ at $x = 0$ is
  • Continuous but non-differentiable
  • B
    Discontinuous and differentiable
  • C
    Discontinuous and non-differentiable
  • D
    Continuous and differentiable

Answer

Correct option: A.
Continuous but non-differentiable
a
(a) Since this function is continuous at $x = 0$

Now for differentiability

$f(x) = \,|\,\,x\,\,|\,\, = \,\,|0|\,\, = 0$ and $f(0 + h) = f(h) = \,\,|h|$

$\therefore \,\,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0 - } \,\frac{{f(0 + h) - f(0)}}{h} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0 - } \,\frac{{|h|}}{h} = - 1$

and $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0 + } \,\frac{{f(0 + h) - f(0)}}{h} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{h \to 0 + } \,\frac{{|h|}}{h} = 1$.

Therefore it is continuous and non-differentiable.
