Continuity Excercise: MCQ

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 1

Answer:
The correct option is (c)
Hint:
A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
limxa+f(a+h)=limxaf(ah)=f(a)
Given:
f(x)=4x24xx3
Solution:
Since a function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
limxaf(x)=f(a)f(x)=4x24xx3f(x)=4x2x(4x2)f(x)=1x Where x0,±2
f(x) is continuous for all real numbers except (0, ±2).
Therefore, it is continuous exactly at three points (0, ±2)
So, the correct option is (c)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 2

Answer:
The correct option is (a) and (b)
Hint:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
limxa+f(a+h)=limxaf(ah)=f(a) (ii) limh0{f(a+h)f(a)h}=f(a+)for right hand derivative limh0{f(ah)f(a)h}=f(a)for left hand derivative 
Given:
f(x)=|xa|ϕ(x)
Solution:
Using formula (ii)
=limh0{f(a+h)f(a)h}=limh0{|h+aa|ϕ(a+h)|aa|ϕ(a)h}
=limh0hϕ(a+h)h=limh0ϕ(a+h)=ϕ(a)=f(a+)....(i)
For Left Hand Derivative
=limh0{f(ah)f(a)h}=limh0{|aha|ϕ(ah)|aa|ϕ(a)h}=limh0|h|ϕ(ah)h=limh0ϕ(ah)
Therefore

=limh0ϕ(ah)=ϕ(a)=f(a).....(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
f(a+)f(a)
So, correct option is (a) and (b)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 3

Answer:
The correct option is (a) and (d)
Hint:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
limxa+f(a+h)=limxaf(ah)=f(a) (ii) limh0{f(a+h)f(a)h}=f(a+)for right hand derivative limh0{f(ah)f(a)h}=f(a)for left hand derivative 
Given:
f(x)=|log10x|
Solution:
f(x)=|log10x|
=|logxloge10|=|logexlog10e|
Calculate right hand derivative
Using limit at x = 1
Apply limit at x = 1
=limh0{f(1+h)f(1)h}=limh0{|log10elog(1+h)||log10elog1|h}=limh0log10e|log(1+h)|h
Therefore applying L-Hospital rule
=log10e×1=f(1+)
For left hand limit
=limh0{f(1h)f(1)h}
=limh0{|log10elog(1h)||log10elog1|h}=limh0log10e|log(1h)|hlog10e=f(1)
 The function f(x)=|log10x| is continuous and in the right hand derivative f(1)=log10e
So the correct option is (a) and (d)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 4

Answer:
The correct option is (C)
Hint:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
limxa+f(a+h)=limxaf(ah)=f(a) (ii) limxa{f(x)g(x)}=1m where limxaf(x)=1,limxag(x)=m (iii) limx0sinxx=1
Given:
f(x)={36x9x4x+121+cosxk ,x0,x=0
Solution:
Function f(x) is continuous at x = 0
To calculate the value of k, understand that function is continuous at x = 0
limx0(36x9x4x+121+cosx)=klimx0((9x1)(4x1)21+cosx)=klimx0((9x1)(4x1)2[2sin2(x4)])=k
limx0((9x1)(4x1)22x2sin2x4x216×16)=k
limx0{(9x1)(4x1)28x2×sin2xyx216}=k
Using formula (ii) and (iii)
8ln9ln42=k [understand that limx0(ax1ax)=lna]32ln3ln22=kk=162ln2ln3
So correct option is (C)

Answer:
The correct option is (d)
Hint:
Use the given formula:
 (i) If limx0+f(x)limx0f(x) then f(x) is discontinuous at x=0 .  (ii)If limx0+f(x)=limx0f(x)=f(0) then f(x) is continuous at x=0
 (iii) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x=a of its domain, if limxa+f(a+h)=limxaf(ah)=f(a)
Given:
f(x)={|x2x|x2x11 ,x0,1,x=0,x=1
Solution:
Simplify the given function
f(x)={|x2x|x2x11 ,x0,1,x=0,x=1
f(x)={1,x>11,x01,0x1 Using RHL limx0+f(x)=limh0f(h)=1 Using LHL limx0f(x)=limh0f(h)=1
f(x) is discontinuous at x =0
Again, Using RHL,
limx1+f(x)=limh0f(1+h)=1
Using LHL,
limx1f(x)=limh0f(1h)=1
f(x) is discontinuous at x = 1
Therefore,
f(x) is continuous for all except at x = 0 and x = 1
So, the correct option is (d)

limxπ2f(x)=f(π2)
Using substitution method
 Substitute π2x=tlimt0(π2t)=f(π2)
limt0{1sin(π2t)4t2logsin(π2t)log(1+π24π(π2t)+4(π2t)2}=k
limt0(2sin2t/2)logcos14t2log(1+π22π2+4πt+π2+4t24πt)=k
limt02sin2t/2logcost4t2log(1+4t2)=klimt02sin2t/2log1sin2t4×4t2414t2log(1+4t2)4t2=k[cos2x=1sin2x]
limt0216(sint/2t/2)212log(1sin2t)4t2log(1+4t2)4t2=k
18limt0(sint/2t/2)2sin2f2log(1sin2t)4t2(sin2t)×1log(1+4t2)=k
18limt0(sint/2t/2)2sin2f8t2log(1sin2t)(sin2t1)×1log(1+4+2)4t2=k
18×8limt0(sint/2t/2)2limt0(sintt)2limt0log(1sin2t)sin2tlimd01log(1+4t2)4t2=k
Using formula (iii)
164limt0{sin2t2log(1sin2t)8t2(t2)2log(1+4t2)4t2}=k
164limt0(sintt)2limt0log1sin2tsin2t=k [limx0sinxx=4,limx0log(1+x)x=1]

Given:
f(x)=(x+1)cotx
Solution:
f(x)=(x+1)cotx
taking log on both sides
logf(x)=(cotx)(log(x+1))
limx0logf(x)=limx0(log(x+1)xtanxx)
Using formula (iii)

limx0log(1+ax)log(1bx)x=k
Using formula (ii)
alimx0log(1+ax)ax+blimx0log(1bx)bx=k
Using formula (i)
a+b=k
So, the correct option is (b)

Using RHL at x = 4
=limx4+f(x)=limh0f(4+h)
=limh0(4+h4|4+h4|+b)=limh0(h|h|+b)=1+b
Using LHL
limx4f(x)=limh0f(4h)=limh0(4h4|4h4|+a)=limh(h|h|+a)=a1
f(x) will be continuous at x = 4, if
limx4+f(x)=limx4f(x)=f(4)a1=b+1=a+bb=1 and a=1

limxa+f(a+h)=limxaf(ah)=f(a)
Given:
f(x)={x45x2+4|(x1)(x2)|612 ,x1,2,x=1,x=2
Solution:
we write
x45x2+4=x4x24x2+4=x2(x21)4(x21)=(x24)(x21)=(x+2)(x2)(x+1)(x1)
we have
f(x)={(x+2)(x2)(x+1)(x1)|(x1)(x2)|612,x1,2,x=1,x=2
f(x)={x45x2+4(x1)(x2)612,x1,2,x=1,x=2
={(x+1)(x+2),x<1(x+1)(x+2),1<x<2(x+1)(x+2),x>26,x=112,x=2
Using RHL at x = 1
limx1+f(x)=limh0f(1+h)=(2)(3)=6
Using LHL at x = 1
limx1f(x)=limh0f(1h)=(2)(3)=6
And using RHL at x = 2
limx2+f(x)=limh0f(1+h)=12
Using LHL at x = 2
limx2f(x)=limh0f(1h)=12
f(x) is discontinuous at x=1 and x=2 for f(x) continuous at R[1, 2]
So, the correct option is (d)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 14

Answer:
The correct option is (c)
Hint:

Use the given formula:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
limxa+f(a+h)=limxaf(ah)=f(a) (ii) limx0sinxx=1
Given:
f(x) is continuous at x = 0 and
f(x)={sin(a+1)x+sinxx,x<0C,x=0x+bx2xbxx,x>0
Solution:
Using RHL
limx0+f(x)=limh0f(0+h)=limh0f(h)=limh0h+bh2hbhh
=limh0h(1+bh)nbhh=limh01+bn1bh=limh01+bh1bh×1+bh+11+bh+1
=limh0(1+bh)1bh(1+bh+1)=limh0bhbh(1+bh+1)=limh011+bh+1
=11+60+1=11+1=12
Using L.H.L
limx0f(x)=limh0f(0h)=limh0f(h)=limn0sin(a+1)(h)+sin(h)(h)
=limh0sin(a+1)hsinhh=limh0{sin(a+1)hh+sinhh}[sin(θ)=sinθ]
=limh0{sin(a+1)(a+1)×(a+1)+sinhh}=(a+1)limh0sin(a+1)a+1+limh0sinhn
=(a+1)1+1[:limx0sinxx=1]=a+1+1=a+2
Since function f(x) is continuous at x = 0
limx0f(x)=limx0+f(x)=f(0)a+2=12a+2=12 or c=12
a=122=32 or c=12 and from f(x) , bR{0}
So, the correct option is (c).

The function f(x)
={x2a,0x<1a,1x<22b24bx2,2x< is continuous for 0x<
Solution:
Step 1: Calculate f(x) is continuous for
x=1,2
Calculate for f(x) is continuous at x = 1
limx1f(x)=limx1+f(x)=f(1)(i)limx1f(x)=limh0f(1h)=limh0(1h)2a

Solution:
Step 1: Calculate, f(x) is continuous for

 Assume, (π2x)=t and substitute in equation (i)limt0[1sin(π2t)(2t)2]=f(π2)
limt0(1cost4t2)=f(π2)14limt0[2sin2(t2)t2]=f(π2)14limi0[24sin2(t2)t24]=f(π2)
Simplify further,
=18limt0[sin2(t2)t24]=f(π2)=18limt0[sin(t2)t2]2=f(π2)
Apply formula (i) i.e

limx0f(a)=limx0+f(x)=f(a)
Given:
The function
f(x)=11x

 Step 2: Understand that ff:R{0,1}R
f(f(f(x)))=f(x1x)
f(f(f(x)))=f(x11(x1x))=x
 Step 3: Understand that fff:R{0,1}R Therefore, f(f(f(x))) is not defined at x=0,1 Hence, f(f(f(x))) is discontinuous at {0,1} The set of point discontinuous of the function f(f(f(x))) is {0,1}

Answer:
The correct option is (b)
Hint:
If a function f is continuous at x = a, then
limx4f(x)=limx0+f(x)=f(a)
 (i) limx0(tanxx)=1
Given:
The function
f(x)=tan(π4x)cot2x,xπ4
Step 1: Understand that, if f(x) is continuous a
x=π4
Understand that, if
π4x=y
Therefore,
xπ4 and y0
limxπ4tan(π4x)cot2x=f(π4)limy0(tanycot2(π4y))=f(π4)

Answer:
The correct option is (a)
Hint:
If a function f is continuous at x = a, then
limxa+f(x)=limxaf(x)=f(a)
Given:
the function
f(x)=x3+x216x+20x2
is not defined for x = 2. In order to make f(x) continuous at x = 2
Step 1: Take
f(x)=x3+x216x+20
and calculate further
f(x)=x3+x216x+20
=x2(x2)+3x(x2)10(x2)
Simplify further,
=(x2)(x2)(x+5)=(x2)2(x+5)
Therefore, the function can be rewritten as
f(x)=(x2)2(x+5)(x2)f(x)=(x2)(x+5)
Step 2: Understand that if f(x) is continuous at x = 2
Therefore,
limh0f(x)=f(x)=limh0(x2)(x+5)=f(x)f(2)=0
Hence, the correct answer is option (a)
Answer:
The correct option is (a)
Hint:
f(x) is continuous at x = 0
( LHL of f(x) at x=0)=( RHL of f(x) at x=0)=f(0)
limx0f(x)=limx0+f(x)=f(0).....(i)
 Now, limx0f(x)=limx0asinπ2(x+1)
=limx0asin(π2+π2x)=limx0acosπx2=a [f(x)=asinπ2(x+1), if x0][cos0=1]
 Again, limx0+f(x)
=limx0tanxsinxx3[f(x)=tanxsinxx3 if x>0]
=limx0sinxcosxsinxx3=limx0sinxsinxcosxcosx×x3=limx0sinx(1cosx)cosx×x3
=limx01cosxlimx0sinxx×2sin2x2x24×4[1cosx=2sin2x2]
=11×1×12limx0(sinx2x2)2
=12[limx20sinx2x2]=12×1=12
 Also, f(0)=asinπ2(0+1)=asinπ2=a
Putting above values in (i) we get,
a=12
So, the correct option is (a)


Answer:
The correct option is (d)
Hint:
A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
limxa+f(a+h)=limxaf(ah)=f(a)
Given:
f(x)={ax2+b,0x<14,x=1x+3,1<x2
Step 1: Understand that, f(x) is continuous at x = 1
Therefore,
limh0f(x)=f(1)limh0f(1h)=4limh0a(1h)2+b=4
Therefore, the possible values for (a, b) can be (2, 2), (3, 1), (4, 0) but (a,b) ≠ (5, 2)
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

Hint:
A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if

Step 1: Understand that, if f(x) is continuous at x = 0
limx0f(x)=f(0)limx0f(x)=limx0log(1+3x)log(12x)x=k
limx03log(1+3x)3x2log(12x)2x=k
Simplifying further,
3limx0log(1+3x)3x+2limx0log(12x)2x=k
Applying formula (i)
3×1+2×1=kk=3+2k=5
So, correct option is (b)

=limx0f(x)=limx0xsin1x=0
Function f(x) is continuous at x = 0
=limx0f(x)=f(0)=0=f(0)
So, option (a) is correct.

(ii) Standard limits
limx0sinxx=1
Given:
f(x)=sin1x
Solution:
f(x)=sin1x
limx0f(x)=limx0sin1x
Function f(x) is continuous at x = 0
limx0f(x)=f(0)limx0sin1x=k
Value does not exist for fraction to be continuous.
So, the option (d) is correct.

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 37

Answer:
The correct option is (e)
Hint:
Use this definition of continuity to solve this problem. A function f(x) is said to be continuous at x=a
if
limxaf(x)=limxa+f(x)=f(a)
Given:
f(x)={(1+ax)1/x,x<0b,x=0(x+c)1/31(x+1)1/21,x>0
may be continuous at x = 0
Solution:
Now at x = 1
f(x)={(1+ax)1/x,x<0b,x=0(x+c)1/31(x+1)1/21,x>0
To find the value of a, b and c we will use definition of continuous function
So we know if f(x) is continuous at x = 0 then we have,
limx0f(x)=limx0+f(x)=f(0)(1)
Using equation (1) We have,
limx0f(x)=f(0)limh0f(0h)=f(0)
limh0{1+a(h)}1h=f(0)[f(x)=(1+ax)1/x,x<0]limh0(1ah)1h=f(0)=b[f(x)=b,x=0]
Taking log both sides, then
limh0log(1ab)1/n=logblimh01nlog(1ah)=logb[logam=mloga]
limh0alog(1ah)ah=logb [multiply and divide a on L.H.S] 
alimh0log{1+(ab)}(ab)=logba1=logb[limx0log(1+x)x=1]a=logb(2)
Again, using equation (1) we get,
limx0+f(x)={(0)limh0f(0+h)=f(0)
limh0f(n)=f(0))limh0((h+c)1/31(h+1)1/21)=f(0)[f(x)=(x+c)1/34(x+1)1/21,x>0]
limh0((h+c)1/31(n+1)1/21×(n+1)1/2+1(n+1)1/2+1)=b[f(x)=b,x=0]
limh0((h+r)431)×((n+1)42+1)((h+1)1/21)((h+1)1/2+1)=b
limh0((h+c)1/31)((n+1)4/2+1)((h+1)1/2)2(1)2=b[(a+b)(ab)=a2b2]
limh0((h+c)1/31)((h+1)42+1)h+11=blimh0((h+c)1/31)(n+1)4/2+1)h=b
limh0((h+c)1/31)h×limh0((n+1)1/2+1)=b[limxaf(x)g(x)=limxaf(x)xlimxag(x)]
limh0((h+c)1/314/3h)×(0+1)1/2+1=blimh0(h+c)1/311/3(h+c)c×11/2+1=bg×2=b
 where g∴=limh0(h+c)1/311/3(h+c)c(a)g=62(3)
To find the value of g, we will use
limxaxnanxa=nanL
But this formula is applicable on g only if c=L
So we take c = L then we have,
g=limh0(h+1)1/311/3(h+1)1 [limxaxnanxa=nan1]
=1311/31=1312/3=131=13g=13
Equation (3)
13=b2b=23
Then equation 2 becomes,
a=log23a=log23,b=23,c=1

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 38

Answer:
The correct option is (b)
Hint:
(i) A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain, if
limxaf(x)=f(a)limxa+f(a+h)=limxaf(ah)=f(a)
Given:
f(x)={2x,0x142x,1<x<522x7,52x4
Solution:
Now at x = 1
limx1+f(x)=limh0f(1+h)=limh0f(42(1+h))=2
Again,
limx1f(x)=limh0f(1h)=limh0(21h)=2=limx+0f(x)=f(0)=limx0f(x)
Therefore, function is continuous at x = 0
Now we will check the continuity of f(x) at
x=52
 So limx52f(x)=limh0f(52h)=limh0(42(52h))[f(x)=42x,x<52]=42(520)
=42×52=45=1
 And limx52+f(x)=limh0f(52+h)=limh02(52+h)7[f(x)=2x7,x>52]=2(52+0)7
=2×527=57=2limx52f(x)limx52f(x) le 12
Therefore the function f(x) is discontinuous at
x=52
So, correct option is (b)

=limh01{sin(π/2h)}23{cos(π/2h)}2
=limh01(cosh)23(sinh)2[sin(π/2θ)=cosθ,cos(π/2θ)=sinθ]
=limh01cos2h3sin2h
=limn0sin2h3sin2h[cos2θ+sin2θ=⊥⇒1cos2θ=sin2θ]=13limh01=13.(2)

=limh0b{1sin(π/2+h)}{π2(π/2+h)}2[f(x)=b(1sinx)(π2x)2,x>π/2]
=limh0b{1cosh}{π2(π2)2h}2[sin(π/2+θ)=cosθ]
=limh0b{2sin2h/2}(ππ2h)2[1cos2θ=2sin2θ]
=limh02bsin2h2(2h)2=limh02bsin2h24h2=264limh0sin2n2h2
=b2limh0sin2h2h24x4=b8limh0(sinh2h2)2=68(limh0sinn/2h/2)2
=b8×12[limx0sinxx=1]=b8×1=b8(3)
 also, f(x)atx=π/2 i.e f(π/2)=a(4)[f(x)=a,x=π/2]
Putting the value of equation 2 ,3 , 4 in (1)
we get ,
13=b8=a Sor a=13 or b8=13b=83a=13,b=82

f(x)g(x)g(x)0
If g(x) = 0, then it is a discontinuous function
So, the correct option is (d)
Answer:
The correct option is (a)
Given:
We have
f(x)=cotx=cosxsinx
Now, f(x) is discontinuous when sinx = 0 we know that
sinx=0 at x=nπ,nZ
f(x) = cot x is discontinuous on the set
{x:x=nπ:nZ}
So, the correct option is (a)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 45

Answer:
The correct option is (a)
Given:
The given function f is
f(x)=x2sin1x, where x0
It is evident that f is defined at all points of the real line.
let C be a real number.
 Case 1 : If c0, then f(c)=c2sin1climxcf(x)=limxc(x2sin1x)=(limxcx2)(limxcsin1x)=c2sin1c
limxcf(x)=f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all points x≠0
Case 2: If c=0, then f(0)=0
limx0f(x)=limx0(x2sin1x)=limx0(x2sin1x)=c2sin1c
It is known that
1sin1x1,x0=x2sin1xx2
=limx0(x2)limx0(x2sin1x)limx0x2=0limx0(x2sin1x)0
=limx0(x2sin1x)=0limx0f(x)=0
Similarly,
limx0+f(x)=limx0+(x2sin1x)=limx0+(x2sin1x)=0
limx0f(x)=f(0)=limx0+f(x)
There fore f is continuous at x = 0
So, the correct option is (a)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 46

Answer:
The correct option is (d)
f(x)=1x[x]
The greatest integer function becomes discontinuous at every integer value of x. So, the whole function will become discontinuous at each integer value of x.
It has infinite number of points of discontinuity.
So, the correct option is (d)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 47

Answer:
The correct option is (d)
The function f(x) = [x] is continuous for all x except all integral values of x
Hence, it is continuous at x = 1.5, which is not an integer
So, the correct option is (d)

Continuity exercise multiple choice question 48

Answer:
The correct option is (b)
Hint:
Standard limit:
(i)limx0sinxx=1(ii)limx0cosx=1
Given:
f(x)={sinxx+cosx, if x0k, if x=0
f(x) is continuous at x = 0.
So,=limx0f(x)=f(0)=limx0(sinxx+cosx)=k=limx0sinxx+limx0cosx=k=1+1=k=k=2
