Question 5
Let f (x) = |cos x|. Then,
(A) f is everywhere differentiable.
(B) f is everywhere continuous but not differentiable at n = nš, n ā Z
(C) f is everywhere continuous but not differentiable at x = (2n + 1)š/2, n ā Z
(D) None of these
f(š„) = |cos š„|
We need to check continuity and differentiability of f(š„)
Continuity of f(š)
Let š(š„)=|š„| & ā(š„)=cosā”š„
Then,
ššš(š)=š(ā(š„))
=š(cosā”š„ )
=|cosā”š„ |
=š(š)
ā“ š(š„)=ššā(š„)
We know that,
š(š)=šššā”š is continuous as cos is continuous
š(š)=|š| is continuous as it is a modulus function
Hence, g(š„) & h(š„) both are continuous
And
If two functions g(š„) & h(š„) are continuous then their composition ššā(š„) is also continuous
ā“ š(š) is continuous
Differentiability of š(š)
š(š„)=|cosā”š„ |
Since, it is a modulus function so we check differentiability when cosā”š„=0
i.e., š=((šš +š)š )/š, šāš
š(š„) is differentiable at š„=((2š +1)š)/2, if
LHD = RHD
(ššš)ā¬(š”āš) (š(š) ā š(š ā š))/š
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (š(((šš +š)š )/š) ā š(((šš +š)š )/š ā ā))/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (|cosā”ć((šš +š)š )/šć | ā|cosā”ć((šš +š)š /š ā ā)ć |)/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (|0| ā |cosā”ć((šš +š)š /š ā ā)ć |)/ā
Using cos (A ā B) = cos Acos B + sin Asin B
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (0 ā |cosā”ć((šš +š)š )/š cosā”ćā+ sinā”ć((šš +š)š )/š sinā”ā ć ć ć |)/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) ( ā |0 ā ćsin ćā”ć((šš +š)š )/š sinā”ā ć |)/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) ( āsinā”ć((šš +š)š )/š sinā”ā ć)/ā
= āš šš ((2š +1)š)/2Ć(ššš)ā¬(hā0) sinā”ā/ā
Using (ššš)ā¬(š„ā0) š ššā”š„/š„=1
=āš šš ((2š +1)š)/2Ć1
=āššš ((šš +š)š )/š
(ššš)ā¬(š”āš) (š(š + š) ā š(š ))/š
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (š(((šš +š)š )/š + ā) ā š(((šš +š)š )/š))/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (|cosā”ć((2š + 1)š/2 + ā )ć |ā|cosā”ć((2š +1)š)/2ć |)/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (|ššš ā”(((2š + 1)š)/2 +ā) |ā|0|)/( ā)
Using cos (A + B) = cos Acos B -- sin Asin B
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (|ćcos ćā”ć((2š +1)š)/2 cosā”ćā ā sinā”ć((2š +1)š)/2 sinā”ā ć ć ć | ā 0)/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) |0 ā sinā”ć((2š + 1)š)/2 sinā”ā ć |/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) ćsin ćā”ć((2š +1)š)/2 sinā”ā ć/ā
=š in ((2š +1)š)/2Ć(ššš)ā¬(hā0) sinā”ā/ā
Using (ššš)ā¬(š„ā0) š ššā”š„/š„=1
= š in ((2š +1)š)/2Ć1
= sin ((šš +š)š )/š
Since,
LHD ā RHD
ā“ š(š„) is not differentiable at š=((šš +š)š )/š
Hence, š(š„) is continuous everywhere but not differentiable at š„ā((2š +1)š)/2, šāš
So, the correct answer is (C)
