Differentiability Excercise:FBQ

Differentiability exercise Fill in the blanks question 1

Answer: $x=-1$
Hint: If f is differentiable at all $x\in R$, we must show $f^{'}(x)$exists at all $x\in R$
Given: The function $f(x)=|x+1|$
Solution:
$f(x)=|x+1|$
We know that
$\begin{aligned} &|x+1|=\left\{\begin{array}{l} x+1, x+1 \geq 0 \\ -(x+1), x+1<0 \end{array}\right\} \\\\ &f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} x+1, x \geq-1 \\ -x-1, x<-1 \end{array}\right\} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow-1^{+}}(x+1)=-1+1=0 \\\\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow-1^{-}}(-x-1)=1-1=0 \end{aligned}$
Thus, the function is continuous.
$\begin{aligned} &x \geq-1, x<-1 \\\\ &f(x)=x+1, f(x)=-x-1 \\\\ &f^{\prime}(x)=1, f^{\prime}(x)=-1 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &f^{\prime}\left(-1^{+}\right)=1, f^{\prime}\left(-1^{-}\right)=-1 \\\\ &f^{\prime}\left(-1^{+}\right)=1 \neq f^{\prime}\left(-1^{-}\right)=-1 \end{aligned}$
Therefore, the function $f(x)=|x+1|$ is not differentiable at $x=-1$

Differentiability exercise Fill in the blanks question 2

Answer: $x=\pm 1$
Hint: If f is differentiable at all _{$x\in R$}, we must show_$f'(x)$ exists at all _{$x\in R$}
Given: $g(x)=|x-1|+|x+1|$
Solution: we know that
$\begin{aligned} g(x) &=\left\{\begin{array}{l} -x-1+1-x, x<-1 \\ x+1+1-x,-1 \leq x<1 \\ x-1+x+1, x \geq 1 \end{array}\right\} \\ &=\left\{\begin{array}{l} -2 x, x<-1 \\ 2,-1 \leq x<1 \\ 2 x, x \geq 1 \end{array}\right\} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &g^{\prime}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} -2, x<-1 \\ 0,-1 \leq x<1 \\ 2, x \geq 1 \end{array}\right\} \\\\ &g^{\prime}\left(-1^{-}\right)=-2, g^{\prime}\left(-1^{+}\right)=0 \end{aligned}$
$g^{\prime}\left(1^{-}\right)=0, g^{\prime}\left(1^{+}\right)=2$
The above derivative calculations can be done from the first principle also.
Since LHS and RHS derivatives are not equal at the points 1 and -1.
Hence the function is not differentiable at $x=\pm 1$.

Differentiability exercise Fill in the blanks question 3

Answer: $z$
Hint: [r] is not continuous ⇒ not differentiable at every point.
If $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{f}_{1}(\mathrm{x})+\mathrm{f}_{2}(\mathrm{x})$ where $\mathrm{f}_{1}(\mathrm{x})$ is differentiable at $x=C$ and $\mathrm{f}_{2}(\mathrm{x})$ is not differentiable at $x=C$ then $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{f}_{1}(\mathrm{x})+\mathrm{f}_{2}(\mathrm{x})$ is also not differentiable at $x=c.$
Given: $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{x}-[\mathrm{x}]$
Solution:

We have $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{x}-[\mathrm{x}]$

Let $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{g}(\mathrm{x})+\mathrm{h}(\mathrm{x})$

Where $g(x)=x \text { and } h(x)=-[x]$

We know that [x] is not continuous at every point of of $\mathrm{x} \Rightarrow[\mathrm{x}]$ is not differentiable for all x

So , $h(x) = -[x]$ is also not continuous and this implies

$h(x) = --[x]$ is not differentiable for $x \in z$

Since $h(x)$ is not differentiable $\forall \mathrm{x} \in \mathbb{Z}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{g}(\mathrm{x})+\mathrm{h}(\mathrm{x})$ is also not differentiable for all values of r ie when $x \in z$

Differentiability exercise Fill in the blanks question 4

Answer: $\pm \pi$ hence there are 2 points where f(x) is not differentiable
Hint: : If $f(x)$ is differentiable at all $x\in R$, we must show$f'(x)$exists at all $x\in R$
Given: The function $f(x)=\sin ^{-1}(\sin x)$ is not differentiable is
Solution:
$f(x)=\sin ^{-1}(\sin x)$
The function $f(x)$is continuous everywhere but not differentiable at $(2 n+1) \frac{\pi}{2}, n \in Z$
$f(x)$ is an odd function.
$f^{\prime}(x)=(-1)^{n} \text {, if }(2 n-1) \frac{\pi}{2}<x<(2 n+1) \frac{\pi}{2}$
$\therefore x=\pm \pi$ where $f(x)$ is not differentiable
$\therefore$ hence there are 2 points where $f(x)$ is not differentiable

Differentiability exercise Fill in the blanks question 5

Answer: $\pm \pi$
Hint: If $f(x)$ is differentiable at all $x\in R$, we must show$f'(x)$exists at all $x\in R$
Given: $f(x)=\cos ^{-1}(\cos x)$
Solution:
$f(x)=\cos ^{-1}(\cos x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} 2 \pi+x, x \in(2 \pi,-\pi) \\ -x, x \in(-\pi, 0) \\ x, x \in(0, \pi) \\ 2 \pi-x, x \in(\pi, 2 \pi) \\ 2 \pi+x, x \in(2 \pi, 3 \pi) \end{array}\right\}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { At } x=\pi, \\ &\begin{array}{l} \lim _{x \rightarrow \pi^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \pi^{-}} x=\pi \\\\ \lim _{x \rightarrow \pi^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \pi^{+}}(2 \pi-x)=2 \pi-\pi=\pi \end{array} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{LHS}=\mathrm{RHS} \Rightarrow f(x) \text { is continuous. } \\\\ &\text { At } x=\pi \\\\ &\qquad f^{\prime}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} 1, x \in(0, \pi) \\\\ 0-1, x \in(\pi, 2 \pi) \end{array}\right\} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow \pi^{-}} f^{\prime}(x)=1 \\\\ &\lim _{x \rightarrow \pi^{+}} f^{\prime}(x)=-1 \end{aligned}$
$\mathrm{LHS} \neq \mathrm{RHS} \Rightarrow f(x)$ is not differentiable.
$\therefore \quad At , x=\pm \pi f(x)$ is continuous but not differentiable.
At $x=-\pi$
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow \pi^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \pi-2 \pi+x}=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} 2 \pi+(\pi-h) \\\\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} 2 \pi+\pi-h=3 \pi-0=3 \pi \end{aligned}$
$\lim _{x \rightarrow \pi^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow \pi^{+}}-x=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}-(\pi+h)$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}-\pi-h \\\\ &=-\pi-0 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=-\pi \\ &\text { L.H.S } \neq \text { R. H.S } \end{aligned}$
⇒$f(x)$ is not continuous at $x=-\pi$
Since we know that not continuous ⇒not differentiable at a point
So $f(x)$ is also not differentiable at $x=-\pi$ as
$f(x)$ is not continuous at $x=-\pi$

Differentiability exercise Fill in the blanks question 6

Answer: 0
Hint: If $f(x)$ is differentiable at all $x\in R$, we must show$f'(x)$exists at all $x\in R$
Given: $f(x)=|\sin x|,\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$
Solution:
We know that$f(x)=|\sin x|$ is continuous everywhere but not differentiable at integer multiples of $\pi$and at $x=0$.
At $x=0$ and $x=k\pi$ ($k$ is an integer),

From the graph,$x = 0$ at this point $\left | \sin x \right |$ is not differentiable.

Differentiability exercise Fill in the blanks question 7

Answer: $\mathrm{a}=\frac{1}{2}$
Hint:
Use differentiability condition
f(x) is said to be differentiable at x=b
Given:
$f(x)= \begin{cases}a x^{2}+3 & x>1 \\ x+\frac{5}{2} & x \leq 1\end{cases}$is differentiable at x=1
Solution:
we have $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})= \begin{cases}\mathrm{ax}^{2}+3 & \mathrm{x}>1 \\ \mathrm{x}+\frac{5}{2} & \mathrm{x} \leq 1\end{cases}$
$\begin{aligned} \text { L.H.D } &=\lim _{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0} \frac{\mathrm{f}(1-\mathrm{h})-\mathrm{f}(1)}{-\mathrm{h}} \\\\ &=\lim _{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0} \frac{(1-\mathrm{h})+5 / 2-(1+5 / 2)}{-\mathrm{h}} \\\\ &=\lim _{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0} \frac{(1-\mathrm{h}+5 / 2-1-5 / 2}{-\mathrm{h}} \end{aligned}$
$=\lim _{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0} \frac{-\mathrm{h}}{-\mathrm{h}}=+1$
$\begin{aligned} \mathrm{R} \cdot \mathrm{H} \cdot \mathrm{D}=& \lim _{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0} \frac{\mathrm{f}(1+\mathrm{h})-\mathrm{f}(1)}{\mathrm{h}} \\ &=\lim _{\mathrm{n} \rightarrow 0} \frac{\mathrm{a}(1+\mathrm{h})^{2}+3-\left(\mathrm{a}(1)^{2}+3\right)}{\mathrm{h}} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{\mathrm{n} \rightarrow 0} \frac{\mathrm{a}\left(1+\mathrm{h}^{2}+2 \mathrm{~h}\right)+3-\mathrm{a}-3}{\mathrm{~h}} \\\\ &=\lim _{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0} \frac{\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{ah}^{2}+2 \mathrm{ah}+3-\mathrm{a}-3}{\mathrm{~h}} \\\\ &=\lim _{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0} \frac{\mathrm{h}(\mathrm{ah}+2 \mathrm{a})}{\mathrm{h}} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\lim _{\mathrm{h} \rightarrow 0} \mathrm{ah}+2 \mathrm{a} \\ &\mathrm{a} \times 0+2 \mathrm{a}=2 \mathrm{a} \end{aligned}$
Since $f(x)$ is differentiable at $x=1$
So,$LHD= RHD$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 1=2 \mathrm{a} \\ &\Rightarrow\mathrm{a}=\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}$

Solution:
$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} x^{2}, x \geq 0 \\ -x^{2}, x<0 \end{array}\right\} \\\\ &f^{\prime}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} 2 x, x \geq 0 \\\\ -2 x, x<0 \end{array}\right\} \\\\ &f^{\prime}(2)=2(2)=4 \end{aligned}$

Differentiability exercise Fill in the blanks question 10

Answer: $R-\left\{\frac{1}{2}\right\}$
Hint:
Given: $f(x)=|2 x-1|$
Solution:
$f(x)=|2 x-1|$
$f(x)= \begin{cases}(2 x-1) & x \geq 0 \\ -(2 x-1) & x<0\end{cases}$
$\begin{aligned} &L_{h \rightarrow 0^{-}} f^{\prime}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\lim _{h} \frac{f\left(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+h\right)-f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}{h} \\\\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{-\left[2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+h-0\right]}{h} \\\\ &=-1 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\operatorname{Rf}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{f\left(\frac{1}{2}-h\right)-f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}{h} \\\\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{\left[\left[2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)-1\right]-0\right]}{h} \\\\ &=1 \end{aligned}$
$L\; f^{\prime}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \neq R\; f^{\prime}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
Hence _$f(x)$ is differentiable $\forall x \in R-\left\{\frac{1}{2}\right\}$

Differentiability exercise Fill in the blanks question 11

Answer: $x=2$
Hint:
Given: $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} x+1, x<2 \\ 2 x-1, x \geq 2 \end{array}\right\}$
Solution:
$\begin{aligned} &L f(x)=x+1 \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=1 \\ &f(1)=1+1=2 \end{aligned}$ $\begin{aligned} &R f(x)=2 x-1 \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=2 \\ &f(1)=2-1=1 \end{aligned}$
$f(2)=2+1=3$ $f(2)=2(2)-1=4-1=3$
$\therefore L f(x)=R f(x)$
Hence, $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} x+1, x<2 \\ 2 x-1, x \geq 2 \end{array}\right\}$ is not differentiable at $x=2$.

Differentiability exercise Fill in the blanks question 12

Answer:$x=0$ and $x=1$
Given: An example of a function which is continuous everywhere but fails to be differentiable exactly at two points.
Solution:
The function is continuous everywhere but fails to be differentiable exactly at two points $x=0$ and $x=1$
$x+|x-1|$
Hence,$f(x)=x+|x-1|$ is continuous but not differentiable at $x=0,1$.

Differentiability exercise Fill in the blanks question 13

Answer: $f(x)=\cos |x|$ is differentiable at set of R
Given: $f(x)=\cos |x|$
Solution:
The function $f(x)=\cos |x|$ is differentiable everywhere except at points where $x=\left(k+\frac{1}{2}\right) \pi$ where k is an integer.
Hence, $f(x)=\cos |x|$ is differentiable at set of R.

Differentiability exercise Fill in the blanks question 14

Answer: $[0]$
Given: $f(x)=|\sin x|$
Solution: $f(x)=|\sin x|$
$f(x)= \begin{cases}\sin x & x \geq 0 \\ -(\sin x) & x<0\end{cases}$
$\begin{aligned} &R f^{\prime}(0)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{f(0+h)-f(0)}{h} \\\\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{|\sinh |-0}{h} \\\\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{\sinh }{h} \\\\ &=1 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { As } h \rightarrow 0^{+},|\sinh |=\sinh \\\\ &\begin{aligned} L f^{\prime}(0) &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{f(0-h)-f(0)}{h} \\\\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{|\sinh |-0}{h} \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{(-\sinh )}{h} \\ &=-1 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\text { As } h \rightarrow 0^{-},|\sinh |=-\sinh \\\\ &\text { So, } R f^{\prime}(0) \neq L f^{\prime}(0) \end{aligned}$
Hence, $f(x)=|\sin x|$ is not differentiable at $x=0$.

Differentiability exercise Fill in the blanks question 15

Answer:$[-1,0,1]$
Given:$f(x)=\frac{1}{\log |x|}$
Solution:
The function $\log \left | x \right |$ is not defined at $x=0$ . So, $x=0$ is a point of discontinuity.
Also, for $f(x)$ to be defined,$\log \left | x \right |=0$, that is $x\neq I$(Integer)
Hence, 1 and -1 are also points of discontinuity.
Clearly$f(x), x \in R-\{0,1,-1\}$ where the function is not differentiable

Differentiability exercise Fill in the blanks question 16

Answer: $x=1$
Given: The greatest integer function, $f(x)=[x], 0<x<2$
Solution:
RHD:
$f(x)=x$
$\begin{aligned} R f^{\prime}(0) &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(1+h)-f(1)}{h} \\\\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{[1+h]-[1]}{h} \\\\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(1-1)}{h} \\\\ &=0 \end{aligned}$
LHD
$\begin{aligned} &L f^{\prime}(0)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(1-h)-f(1)}{-h} \\\\ \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{[1-h]-[1]}{-h} \\\\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{0-1}{-h} \\\\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{h} \\\\ &=\infty \end{aligned}$
Since RHD $\neq$ LHD
$\therefore f(x)$ is not differentiable at $x=1$
