Question

Is the function f defined by f(x)= `{(x, if x<=1),(5, if x > 1):}`  continuous at x = 0? At x = 1? At x = 2?

Sum

Solution

`f (x) = {(x, if x<=1),(5, if x > 1):}`

(i) ⇒ x = 0 पर

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

= 0 - 0

= 0

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

= 0 + 0

= 0

f(0) = 0

(ii) Hence, f is continuous at x = 0.

⇒ at x = 1

`lim_(x -> 1)` f(x) = `lim_(h -> 1)` f (1 - h)

= 1 - 0

= 1

`lim_(x -> 1)` f(x) = 5

Hence f is not continuous at x = 1.

⇒ at x = 2

`lim_(x -> 2^-)` f(x) = `lim_(h -> 2^+)` f(x) = 5

f(2) = 5

Hence, f is continuous at x = 2.
