Question:

Define $f(x)$ as the product of two real functions $f_1(x) = x, x \in$ R, and $f_2(x) =$ $ \begin{cases} sin \frac{1}{x} , & \text{If x $\ne $ 0} \\ 0, & \text{If x = 0} \end{cases}$ as follows : $f(x) = \begin{cases} f_1(x).f_2(x) , & \text{If x $\ne $ 0} \\ \quad 0, & \text{If x = 0} \end{cases}$ $f(x)$ is continuous on R. $f_1(x)$ and $f_2(x)$ are continuous on R.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$F(x) = \begin{cases} x \,sin(1/ x) , & \text{ x $\ne $ 0} \\ \quad 0, & \text{ x = 0} \end{cases}$ at $x = 0$ $LHL = \displaystyle\lim_{h\to0^{+}}\left\{-h\,sin \left(-\frac{1}{h}\right)\right\}$ $= 0 ? a$ finite quantity between - 1 and 1 $RHL = \displaystyle\lim_{h\to0^{+}} h sin \frac{1}{h}$ $= 0$ $f\left(0\right) = 0$ $\therefore f\left(x\right)$ is continuous on R. $f_{2}\left(x\right)$ is not continuous at $x = 0$

Continuity & Differentiability

Definition of Differentiability

f(x) is said to be differentiable at the point x = a, if the derivative f ‘(a) be at every point in its domain. It is given by

Differentiability

Definition of Continuity

Mathematically, a function is said to be continuous at a point x = a,  if

It is implicit that if the left-hand limit (L.H.L), right-hand limit (R.H.L), and the value of the function at x=a exist and these parameters are equal to each other, then the function f is said to be continuous at x=a.

Continuity

If the function is unspecified or does not exist, then we say that the function is discontinuous.
