Show that f(x) = |x| is continuous at x = 0.

योग

उत्तर

Given that f(x) = |x| = `{(x if x >= 2),(- x if  x < 0):}`

`"L"["f"(x)]_(x=0) = lim_(x->0^-)`f(x)

[∵ x = 0 – h]

`= lim_(h->0^-) "f"(0 - "h")`

`= lim_(h->0^-) "f"(- "h")`

`= lim_(h->0^-) |- "h"|`

`= lim_(h->0^-) |"h"|`

`= lim_(h->0^-) "h" = 0`

`"R"["f"(x)]_(x=0^+) = lim_(x->0^+)`f(x)

`= lim_(h->0^+) "f"(0 - "h")`

`= lim_(h->0^+) "f"("h")`

`= lim_(h->0^+) |"h"|`

`= lim_(h->0) "h"`

= 0

[∵ |x| = x if x > 0]

Also f(0) = |0| = 0

`lim_(x->0^-) "f"(x) = lim_(x->0^+ "f"(x))` = f(0)

∴ f(x) is continuous at x = 0.
