Example 13 Discuss the continuity of the function f given by š(š„)={ā(& š„, šš š„ā„0@& š„2 , šš š„<0)⤠š(š„)={ā(& š„, šš š„ā„0@& š„2 , šš š„<0)⤠Since we need to find continuity at of the function We check continuity for different values of x When x = 0 When x < 0 When x > 0 Case 1 : When x = 0 f(x) is continuous at š„ =0 if L.H.L = R.H.L = š(0) if limā¬(xā0^ā ) š(š„)=limā¬(xā0^+ ) " " š(š„)= š(0) Since there are two different functions on the left & right of 0, we take LHL & RHL . LHL at x ā 0 limā¬(xā0^ā ) f(x) = limā¬(hā0) f(0 ā h) = limā¬(hā0) f(āh) = limā¬(hā0) (āh)2 = (ā0)2 = 0 RHL at x ā 0 limā¬(xā0^+ ) f(x) = limā¬(hā0) f(0 + h) = limā¬(hā0) f(h) = limā¬(hā0) h = 0 & š(0) = š„ = 0 Hence, L.H.L = R.H.L = š(0) ā“ f is continuous at x = 0 Case 2 : When x < 0 For x < 0, f(x) = š„^2 Since this a polynomial It is continuous ā“ f(x) is continuous for x < 0Case 3 : When x > 0 For x > 0, f(x) = x Since this a polynomial It is continuous ā“ f(x) is continuous for x > 0 Hence, there is no point of discontinuity Thus, f is continuous for all šāš
