Example 20 Show that the function f defined by f (x) = |1βˆ’ π‘₯ + | π‘₯ ||, where x is any real number is a continuousGiven 𝑓(π‘₯) = |(1βˆ’π‘₯+|π‘₯|)| Let π’ˆ(𝒙) = 1βˆ’π‘₯+|π‘₯| & 𝒉(𝒙) = |π‘₯| Then , π’‰π’π’ˆ(𝒙) = β„Ž(𝑔(π‘₯)) = β„Ž(1βˆ’π‘₯+|π‘₯|) = |(1βˆ’π‘₯+|π‘₯|)| = 𝒇(𝒙) We know that, Modulus function is continuous ∴ 𝒉(𝒙) = |π‘₯| is continuous Also, π’ˆ(𝒙) = (πŸβˆ’π’™)+|𝒙| Since (1βˆ’π‘₯) is a polynomial & every polynomial function is continuous ∴ (πŸβˆ’π’™) is continuous Also, |𝒙| is also continuous Since Sum of two continuous function is also continuous Thus, 𝑔(π‘₯) = 1βˆ’π‘₯+|π‘₯| is continuous . Hence, 𝑔(π‘₯) & β„Ž(π‘₯) are both continuous . We know that If two function of 𝑔(π‘₯) & β„Ž(π‘₯) both continuous, then their composition π’‰π’π’ˆ(𝒙) is also continuous Hence, 𝒇(𝒙) is continuous .
