Q43 / 93 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Continuity and Differentiability

If fx=xx-1, then the points of discontinuity of the function f15x, where fn=fof…….of (n times), are

  • A
    x=2,1
  • B
    x=0,1
  • C
    x=1,2,0
  • Correct answer
    D
    continuous everywhere except x=1

Solution

Clearly, x=1 is a point of discontinuity of the function fx=xx-1 .
If x≠1 , then
fofx=ffx=fxx-1=x , which is continuous ∀x∈R .
If x≠1 , then fofofx=fx=xx-1
Hence, f15x=fofof………15x=fx which is continuous everywhere except x=1
So, the only point of discontinuity is x=1

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