  • f ''(x) > 0 for all x
  • -1 < f " (x) < 0 for all x
  • - 2 $\le$ f "(x) $\le$ -1 for all
  • f " (x) < -2 for all x

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$f\left(x\right) =e^{-x}$ is one such function.
Here $ f\left(0\right) = 1 ,f'\left(0\right) = - 1, f\left(x\right) > 0, \forall x $
$\therefore f" > 0 \forall x $

Continuity

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

limx→a

f(x) Exists, and

limx→a

f(x) = f(a)

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

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

Conditions for continuity of a function: For any function to be continuous, it must meet the following conditions:

  • The function f(x) specified at x = a, is continuous only if f(a) belongs to real number.
  • The limit of the function as x approaches a, exists.
  • The limit of the function as x approaches a, must be equal to the function value at x = a.
