Continuity exercise Fill in the blanks question 1

Answer: 3a^{2}
Hint:
Use the formula (x^{3}-a^{3}) so that f(x)\neq \frac{0}{0} at x\neq a
Given:
f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cl} \frac{x^{3}-a^{3}}{x-a} & , x \neq a \\ b & , x=a \end{array}\right. is continuous at x=a
Solution:
If f(x) is continuous at x=a , then RHL= LHL
LHL,
\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{x^{3}-a^{3}}{x-a} \\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} \frac{(x-a)\left(x^{2}+a x+a^{2}\right)}{(x-a)} \\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} x^{2}+a x+a^{2} \\ &=\lim _{\mathbb{\Xi} \rightarrow 0} a^{2}+a^{2}+a^{2} \\ &=3 a^{2} \end{aligned}\left [ \because x=a \right ]
RHL,
\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} b \\ &=b \end{aligned}
Asf(x) is continuous at x=a, RHL = LHL
b=3a^{2}


Continuity exercise Fill in the blanks question 2

Answer: \pm 1
Hint:
Use the formula of \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1 to solve \frac{\sin ^{2} a x}{x^{2}}
Given:
f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cl} \frac{\sin ^{2} a x}{x^{2}}, & x \neq 0 \\ 1, & x=0 \end{array}\right.is continuous at x=0
Solution:
If f(x) is continuous at x=0, then f(x)=\frac{\sin ^{2} a x}{x^{2}} and g(x)=1 are equal.
LHL,
\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{\sin ^{2} a x}{x^{2}} \\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{\sin ^{2} a x}{a^{2} x^{2}}\left(a^{2}\right) \\ \end{aligned}
=\lim_{x\rightarrow 0^{-}}\left ( \frac{\sin ax}{ax} \right )^{2}\left ( a^{2} \right )
=a^{2} \left[\because \frac{\sin ^{2} a x}{a^{2} x^{2}}=1\right]
RHL,
\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} 1=1
As f(x) is continuous at x=0, LHL =RHL
\begin{aligned} &a^{2}=1 \\ &a=\pm 1 \end{aligned}
Answer: 2
Hint: You must know about the concept of continuous function
Given:
f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} a x^{2}-b, 0 \leq x<1 \\ 2, x=1 \\ x+1,1<x \leq 2 \end{array} \quad \text { is continuous at } x=1\right.
Solution:

If f(x) is continuous at x=1, then
\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} f(x) \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} a x^{2}-b=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} x+1=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} 2 \end{aligned}
\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} a(1-h)^{2}-b=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}(1+h)+1=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} 2
\begin{aligned} &a-b=2=2 \\ &a-b=2 \end{aligned}
Answer: 1
Hint: If f(x)is continuous, then all the functions are equal
Given:
f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} x+k, x<3 \\ 4, x=3 \quad \text { is continuous at } x=3 \\ 3 x-5, x>3 \end{array}\right.
Solution
:
We know that as function is continuous at x=3 ,
\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} f(x) \\\\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{-}} x+k=\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{+}} 3 x-5=\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} 4 \end{aligned}
\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}(3-h)+k=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} 3(3+h)-5=\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} 4
\begin{aligned} &3+k=3(3)-5=4 \\ &3+k=4=4 \\ &k=1 \end{aligned}

Answer: b=-1, a=1,a+b=0

Hint: \left | x \right |=x, When x< 0 and \left | x \right |=x , when x> 0
Given:
f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} \frac{x-4}{|x-4|}+a, x<4 \\ a+b, x=4 \quad \text { is continuous at } x=4 \\ \frac{x-4}{|x-4|}+b, x>4 \end{array}\right.

Solution:
As the function is continuous at x=4,
\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 4^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 4^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 4} f(x) \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 4^{-}} \frac{x-4}{|x-4|}+a=\lim _{x \rightarrow 4^{+}} \frac{x-4}{|x-4|}+b=\lim _{x \rightarrow 4} a+b \end{aligned}
\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(4-h)-4}{|(4-h)-4|}+a=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(4+h)-4}{|(4+h)-4|}+b=\lim _{x \rightarrow 4} a+b
\begin{aligned} &\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{-h}{|h|}+a=\lim _{x \rightarrow 4^{+}} \frac{h}{|h|}+b=a+b \\ &-1+a=1+b=a+b \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} &a+b=-1+a \quad, \quad a+b=1+b \\ &b=-1 \quad, \quad a=1 \end{aligned}
Now, a+b=1-1=0

Hint: Use the formula of \cos 3 x=4 \cos ^{3} x-3 \cos x
Given:

f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cl} \frac{\cos 3 x-\cos x}{x^{2}}, & x \neq 0 \\ \lambda & , x=0 \end{array}\right. is continuous at x=0
Solution:

We know that
\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=f(0), when function is continuous
\therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=f(0)
\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos 3 x-\cos x}{x^{2}}=\lambda \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left(4 \cos ^{3} x-3 \cos x\right)-\cos x}{x^{2}}=\lambda \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{4 \cos ^{3} x-4 \cos x}{x^{2}}=\lambda \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{4 \cos x\left(\cos ^{2} x-1\right)}{x^{2}}=\lambda \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{4 \cos x\left(-\sin ^{2} x\right)}{x^{2}}=\lambda \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}-4 \cos x=\lambda \\ &-4(1)=\lambda \end{aligned}
\lambda=-4 \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \quad\left[\begin{array}{l} \because \cos 3 x=4 \cos ^{3} x-3 \cos x \\ \because \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1 \\ \because \cos 0^{\circ}=1 \end{array}\right]

Continuity exercise Fill in the blanks question 7

Answer: 0
Hint: Use L-Hospital’s rule

Solution:
If f(x) is continuous at x=\frac{\pi }{2} , then
\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} f(x)=f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1-\sin x}{\pi-2 x}=k \end{aligned}
Applying L-Hospital’s rule on LHS that is differentiating both numerator and denominator,
\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{0-(\cos x)}{0-2(1)}=k \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{-\cos x}{-2}=k \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\cos x}{2}=k \\ &\frac{\cos \frac{\pi}{2}}{2}=k \end{aligned}
k=0 \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \quad\left[\because \cos \frac{\pi}{2}=0\right]

Answer:f(0)=\frac{-1}{8}

Hint: Use L-Hospital’s rule

Given:f(x)=\frac{2-\sqrt{x+4}}{\sin 2 x}, x \neq 0and f(x) is continuous at x=0

As f(x) is continuous at x=0,
\begin{aligned} &f(0)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x) \\ &f(0)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{2-\sqrt{x+4}}{\sin 2 x} \end{aligned}
Using L-Hospital’s rule,
f(0)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{0-\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x+4}}}{2 \cos 2 x}
\begin{aligned} &f(0)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{-1}{(2 \sqrt{x+4})(2 \cos 2 x)} \\ &f(0)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{-1}{4(\sqrt{x+4})(\cos 2 x)} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} f(x)=f(3) \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} \frac{x^{2}-9}{x-3}=2(3)+k \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} \frac{(x-3)(x+3)}{x-3}=2(3)+k \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} x+3=6+k \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} &3+3=6+k \\ &6=6+k \\ &k=0 \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \quad\left[\because\left(a^{2}-b^{2}\right)=(a+b)(a-b)\right] \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} f(x)=f(1) \\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{x^{2}-1}{x-1}=k \end{aligned}
\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \frac{(x-1)(x+1)}{x-1}=k \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \quad\left[\because\left(a^{2}-b^{2}\right)=(a+b)(a-b)\right]

Applying L-Hospital’s rule
\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{-\sec ^{2} x}{4}=f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \\ &\frac{-2}{4}=f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \end{aligned} \quad\left [\because \sec ^{2} \frac{\pi}{4}=2\right]

Continuity exercise Fill in the blanks question 14

Answer: 0,1,-1
Hint: Function is discontinuous where denominator is zero
Given: f(x)=\frac{1}{\log |x|}
Solution:
\log x is not defined at x=0.
So,x=0, f(x) is discontinuous.
\log \left | x \right |=0 , when \left | x \right |=1
i.e. x=1,-1
When x=1,-1 , value of \frac{1}{\log \left | x \right |}=\infty
