Question:

Let \(f:R→R\) be a function defined by f(x)={\(3e^x \text{ if } x<0 x^2+3x+3  \text{ if  } 0≤x<1 x^2-3x-3\text{   if  } x≥1\)

  • f is continuous on R

  • f is not continuous on R

  • f is continuous on R\{0}

  • f is continuous on R\{1}

  • f is not continuous on R\{0,1}

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

As per the given data we can proceed as follows

\(f(0^-)=3\)

\(f(0^+)=3=f(0)\)

\therefore \(f\) is continuous at x=0.

\(f(1^-)=7 \)

\(f(1^+)=-5\)

So,\(f \)is discontinuous at x\( = 1\) 

\(∴\) ,\(f\) is continuous on  \(R\) \ {\({1}\)}

Relations and functions

A relation R from a non-empty set B is a subset of the cartesian product A × B. The subset is derived by describing a relationship between the first element and the second element of the ordered pairs in A × B.

A relation f from a set A to a set B is said to be a function if every element of set A has one and only one image in set B. In other words, no two distinct elements of B have the same pre-image.

Representation of Relation and Function

Relations and functions can be represented in different forms such as arrow representation, algebraic form, set-builder form, graphically, roster form, and tabular form. Define a function f: A = {1, 2, 3} → B = {1, 4, 9} such that f(1) = 1, f(2) = 4, f(3) = 9. Now, represent this function in different forms.

  1. Set-builder form - {(x, y): f(x) = y2, x ∈ A, y ∈ B}
  2. Roster form - {(1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9)}
  3. Arrow Representation
