Q104 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2022 (04 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

If fx=x2lncosxln1+x2, x≠00, x=0, then fx is

  • A
    discontinuous at zero
  • B
    continuous but not differentiable at zero
  • Correct answer
    C
    differentiable at zero
  • D
    not continuous and not differentiable at zero

Solution

f'0+=limh→0f0+h-f0h

=limh→0fhh

=limh→0lncoshln1+h2×h2h2      ....1   {Multiplying Numerator & denominator by h}

=limh→0h2ln1+h2×limh→0lncoshh2

=limh→0h2ln1+h2×limh→0-tanh2h      {Using L'Hospital's Rule}
  = 1 × - 1 2
= - 1 2

and   f'0-=limh→0f0-h-f0-h

=limh→0f-h-h

=-limh→0-hlncos-hln1+-h2-h

=limh→0logcoshlog1+h2

= - 1 2                                  {from Eq. 1}

∴f'0+=f'0-

∴  fx is differentiable and hence continuous at x=0.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
