MCQ
The point(s), at which the function $f$ given by $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{x}{|x|}, x<0 \\ -1, x \geq 0\end{array}\right.$ is continuous, is/are
  • $x \in R$
  • B
    $x=0$
  • C
    $x \in R-\{0\}$
  • D
    $x=-1$ and 1

Answer

Correct option: A.
$x \in R$
(a) : We have, $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\frac{x}{|x|}, & x<0 \\ -1, & x \geq 0\end{array}\right.$
$
\Rightarrow f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}
\frac{x}{-x}=-1, & x<0 \\
-1, & x \geq 0
\end{array} \Rightarrow f(x)=-1 \forall x \in R\right.
$
$\Rightarrow f(x)$ is continuous $\forall x \in R$ as it is a constant function.
