MCQ
The function $\text{f(x)=}\begin{cases}\frac{\text{e}\frac{1}{\text{x}}-1}{\text{e}\frac{1}{\text{x}}+1},&\text{x}\neq0\\0,&\text{x}=0\end{cases}$
  • A
    is continuous at $x = 0$
  • is not continuous at $x = 0$
  • C
    is not continuous at $x = 0,$ but can be made continuous at $x = 0$
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

Correct option: B.
is not continuous at $x = 0$
Given, $\text{f(x)=}\begin{cases}\frac{\text{e}\frac{1}{\text{x}}-1}{\text{e}\frac{1}{\text{x}}+1},\text{x}\neq0\\0,\text{x}=0\end{cases}$
We have
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\text{f(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\Bigg(\frac{\text{e}\frac{1}{\text{x}}-1}{\text{e}\frac{1}{\text{x}}+1}\Bigg)$
if $\text{e}^\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\text{t},$ then
$\text{x}\rightarrow0, \text{t}\rightarrow\infty$
$\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\text{f(x)}=\lim\limits_{\text{t}\rightarrow\infty}\Big(\frac{\text{t}-1}{\text{t}+1}\Big)$
$=\lim\limits_{\text{t}\rightarrow\infty}\Bigg(\frac{1-\frac{1}{\text{t}}}{1+\frac{1}{\text{t}}}\Bigg)=\frac{1-0}{1+0}=1$
Also, $f(0) = 0$
$\because\ \lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow0}\text{f(x)}\neq\text{f}(0)$
Hence, $f(x)$ is discontinuons at $x = 0.$
