Question

Determine if f defined by `f(x) = {(x^2 sin  1/x, "," if x != 0),(0, "," if x = 0):}` is a continuous function?

Sum

Solution

We have f (0) = 0

`lim_(x->0^-) f (x) = lim_(h->0)(0 - h^2) sin  1/-h = h^2 sin (1/h)`

but `sin  1/h ∈ [-1, 1]`

= `h^2 sin  1/h -> 0` as h ->0.

`lim_(x->0^+) f (x) = lim_(h->0) (0 + h)^2 sin  1/h =h^2 sin  1/h = 0 `

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

= f is continuous at x = 0
