Question 6.
Discuss the continuity and differentiability of f(x) at x = 2.
f(x) = [x] if x ∈ [0, 4). [where [ ] is a greatest integer (floor) function]
Solution:

Explanation:
x ∈ [0, 4)
∴ 0 ≤ x < 4
We will plot graph for 0 ≤ x < 4
not for x < 0 and upto x = 4 making on X-axis.

Maharashtra Board Solutions Class 11-Arts & Science Maths (Part 2): Chapter 9- Differentiation Ex 9.1

f(x) = [x]
∴ Greatest integer function is discontinuous at all integer values of x and hence not differentiable at all integers.
∴ f is not continuous at x = 2.
∵ f(x) = 1, x < 2
= 2, x ≥ 2
x ∈ neighbourhood of x = 2.
∴ L.H.L. = 1, R.H.L. = 2
∴ f is not continuous at x = 2.
∴ f is not differentiable at x = 2.

Question 7.
Test the continuity and differentiability of
f(x) = 3x + 2 if x > 2
= 12 – x2 if x ≤ 2 at x = 2.

∴ 4a + b = 2 …..(iii)
Also, f'(3) = 2a(3) + b
∴ f'(3) = 6a + b
But, f'(3) = 12 …..(given)
∴ 6a + b = 12 …..(iv)
equation (iv) – equation (iii), we get
2a = 10
∴ a = 5
Substituting a = 5 in (iii), we get
4(5) + b = 2
∴ b = -18
∴ a = 5, b = -18, c = 3
∴ f(x) = 5x2 – 18x + 3

Check:
If f(0) = 3, f'(2) = 2 and f'(3) = 12, then our answer is correct.
f(x) = 5x2 – 18x + 3 and f'(x) = 10x – 18
f(0) = 5(0)2 – 18(0) + 3 = 3
f'(2) = 10(2) – 18 = 2
f'(3) = 10(3) – 18 = 12
Thus, our answer is correct.
