Question

Show that the function defined by f (x) = cos (x2) is a continuous function.

Sum

Solution

Let f (x) = cos (x2).

Domian of f = R.

Let a be any arbitrary real number.

`lim_(x->a^-) f (x) = lim_(h->0) cos (a - h)^2 = cos a^2`

`lim_(x->a^+) f (x) = lim_(h->0) cos (a + h)^2 = cos a^2`

Also f (a) = cos a2

Thus, `lim_(x->a^-) f (x) = lim_(x->a^+) f (x) = f (a) AA a ∈ R`

∴ f (x) = cos(x2) is continuous at a ∀ a ∈ R.
