Analysis of Continuity and Differentiability

Function:

\[ f(x) = \begin{cases} \dfrac{x}{e^{\pi x} - 1}, & x \neq 0 \\ \dfrac{1}{\pi}, & x = 0 \end{cases} \]

✅ Continuity at \( x = 0 \):

\[ \lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = \frac{1}{\pi} = f(0) \quad \Rightarrow \quad \text{Function is continuous at } x = 0 \]

✏️ Differentiability at \( x = 0 \):

\[ f'(0) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(h) - f(0)}{h} = -\frac{1}{2} \]

✅ Final Result:

  • Function is continuous at \( x = 0 \)
  • Function is differentiable at \( x = 0 \)
  • \( f'(0) = \boxed{-\frac{1}{2}} \)

If $y=\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{x+1}{x-1}\right)+\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x-1}{x+1}\right)$, $x\in[0,\infty)$ and $x\ne1$, then $\dfrac{dy}{dx}$ is equal to

Solution

Recall the identity:
$\sec^{-1}(\theta) = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\theta}\right)$
Applying this:
$\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{x+1}{x-1}\right) = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{x-1}{x+1}\right)$

Substituting back:
$y = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{x-1}{x+1}\right) + \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x-1}{x+1}\right)$

Using the standard identity:
$\sin^{-1}(\theta) + \cos^{-1}(\theta) = \dfrac{\pi}{2}$

Therefore:
$y = \dfrac{\pi}{2}$

Differentiating:

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{d}{dx}\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)$

$\boxed{\dfrac{dy}{dx} = 0}$

Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a function defined by $f(x)=|x+1|e^{-x^2}$. Then which of the following statement is true?





Go to Discussion

MCA NIMCET Previous Year PYQ MCA NIMCET NIMCET 2026 PYQ

Solution

Given,

$f(x)=|x+1|e^{-x^2}$

For $x<-1$,

$f(x)=-(x+1)e^{-x^2}$

Differentiate:

$f'(x)=e^{-x^2}(2x^2+2x-1)$

For critical points,

$2x^2+2x-1=0$

Using quadratic formula,

$x=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4+8}}{4}$

$x=\frac{-2\pm 2\sqrt{3}}{4}$

$x=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{3}}{2}$

For $x<-1$, the valid critical point is

$x=\frac{-1-\sqrt{3}}{2}$

This lies in the interval $(-2,-1)$.

At this point, $f$ has a point of maxima.


MCA NIMCET PYQ

For $a\in \mathbb{R}$, consider the real valued function defined on $(-1,1)$ as follows:

For $x\neq 0$,

$f(x)=\frac{(1+x)^{\frac{1}{3}}-(1+2x)^{\frac{1}{4}}}{x}$

and for $x=0$,

$f(x)=a$

If $f$ is differentiable at $x=0$, then the value of $a+f'(0)$ is equal to:

Solution

Using expansion near $x=0$,

$(1+x)^{\frac{1}{3}}=1+\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x^2}{9}+O(x^3)$

Also,

$(1+2x)^{\frac{1}{4}}=1+\frac{x}{2}-\frac{3x^2}{8}+O(x^3)$

Now,

$(1+x)^{\frac{1}{3}}-(1+2x)^{\frac{1}{4}}$

$=\left(1+\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x^2}{9}\right)-\left(1+\frac{x}{2}-\frac{3x^2}{8}\right)+O(x^3)$

$=-\frac{x}{6}+\left(-\frac{1}{9}+\frac{3}{8}\right)x^2+O(x^3)$

$=-\frac{x}{6}+\frac{19x^2}{72}+O(x^3)$

Therefore,

$f(x)=\frac{-\frac{x}{6}+\frac{19x^2}{72}+O(x^3)}{x}$

$f(x)=-\frac{1}{6}+\frac{19x}{72}+O(x^2)$

For differentiability at $x=0$, function must be continuous at $x=0$.

So,

$a=\lim_{x\to 0}f(x)=-\frac{1}{6}$

Also,

$f'(0)=\frac{19}{72}$

Hence,

$a+f'(0)=-\frac{1}{6}+\frac{19}{72}$

$=-\frac{12}{72}+\frac{19}{72}$

$=\frac{7}{72}$

Let $\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be any function defined as $f(x)=\begin{cases}{{x}^{\alpha}\sin \frac{1}{{x}^{\beta}}} & {,x\ne0} \\ {0} & {,x=0}\end{cases}$, $\alpha , \beta \in \mathbb{R}$. Which of the following is true? ($\mathbb{R}$ denotes the set of all real numbers)

Solution

The function is $f(x) = x^{\alpha}\sin\left(\dfrac{1}{x^{\beta}}\right)$ for $x \ne 0$, and $f(0)=0$. 
To check continuity at $x=0$, consider: $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0} x^{\alpha}\sin\left(\frac{1}{x^{\beta}}\right)$. 
Since $|\sin \theta| \le 1$ for all $\theta$ 
$|x^{\alpha}\sin(1/x^{\beta})| \le |x^{\alpha}|$. 

Now, $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0} x^{\alpha} = 0 \quad \text{iff } \alpha > 0$. 
Therefore, $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0} x^{\alpha}\sin(1/x^{\beta}) = 0 = f(0)$ iff $\alpha > 0$. 
The value of $\beta$ does not matter because $\sin(1/x^{\beta})$ is always bounded. 
Hence: ${f(x)\text{ is continuous at }x=0\text{ for all }\alpha>0\text{ and }\beta\in\mathbb{R}.}$

The slope of the function \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2 \sin\!\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right), & \text{if } x \ne 0, \\[8pt] 0, & \text{if } x = 0 \end{cases} \]

Solution

$f'(0)=\lim_{x\to0}\dfrac{f(x)-f(0)}{x}$ 

$=\lim_{x\to0}\dfrac{x^2\sin(1/x)}{x}$ 

$=\lim_{x\to0}x\sin(\frac{1}{x})=0$

For $x\ne0$,

$f'(x)=2x\sin\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right)-\cos\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right)$

Answer: $\boxed{f'(0)=0}$ ✅
