Question 18
Let f (x) = |sin x|. Then
(A) f is everywhere differentiable
(B) f is everywhere continuous but not differentiable at x = nš, nā Z.
(C) f is everywhere continuous but not differentiable at x = (2n + 1) š/2, nā Z.
(d) None of these
f(š„) = |sin š„|
We need to check continuity and differentiability of f(š„)
Continuity of f(š)
Let š(š„)=|š„| & ā(š„)=sinā”š„
Then,
ššš(š)=š(ā(š„))
=š(sinā”š„ )
=|sinā”š„ |
=š(š)
ā“ š(š„)=ššā(š„)
We know that,
š(š)=š¬š¢š§ā”š is continuous as sin 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„)=|sinā”š„ |
Since, it is a modulus function so we check differentiability when sinā”š„=0
i.e., š=šš , šāš
š(š„) is differentiable at š„=šš, if
LHD = RHD
(ššš)ā¬(š”āš) (š(š) ā š(š ā š))/š
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (š(šš) ā š(ššā ā))/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (|sinā”šš | ā|sinā”ć(šš ā ā)ć |)/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (|0| ā |sinā”ć(šš ā ā)ć |)/ā
Using sin (A ā B) = sin Acos B ā cos Asin B
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (0 ā |sinā”ćšš cosā”ćā ā cosā”ćšš sinā”ā ć ć ć |)/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) ( ā |0 ā cosā”ćšš sinā”ā ć |)/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) ( ācosā”ćšš sinā”ā ć)/ā
= ācos šš Ć(ššš)ā¬(hā0) sinā”ā/ā
Using (ššš)ā¬(š„ā0) š ššā”š„/š„=1
=ācos šš Ć1
=āššØš¬ šš
(ššš)ā¬(š”āš) (š(š + š) ā š(š ))/š
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (š(šš+ ā) ā š(šš))/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (|sinā”ć(šš+ā)ć |ā|sinā”šš |)/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (|sinā”ć(šš+ā)ć |ā|0|)/( ā)
Using sin (A + B) = sin Acos B + cos Asin B
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) (|sinā”ćšš cosā”ćā + cosā”ćšš sinā”ā ć ć ć | ā 0)/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) |0 + cosā”ćšš sinā”ā ć |/ā
= (ššš)ā¬(hā0) cosā”ćšš sinā”ā ć/ā
= cos šš Ć(ššš)ā¬(hā0) sinā”ā/ā
Using (ššš)ā¬(š„ā0) š ššā”š„/š„=1
= cos šš Ć1
= ššØš¬ šš
Since,
LHD ā RHD
ā“ š(š„) is not differentiable at š=šš
Hence, š(š„) is continuous everywhere but not differentiable at šāšš , šāš
So, the correct answer is (B)
