Q46 / 67 · NEST (NISER) 2022 (Session 2) · Mathematics

Suppose $a$ is a real number and $f$ is defined as
$f(x)= \begin{cases}|x|^a \sin \left(|x|^{-3}\right) & \text { if } x \neq 0 \\ 0 & \text { if } x=0\end{cases}$
Then

  • A
    $\approx f$ is continuous everywhere.
  • Correct answer
    B
    $f^{\prime}(0)$ exists if and only if $a \gt 1$.
  • C
    if $a=4$, then $f^{\prime}$ is continuous at 0
  • Correct answer
    D
    $f^{\prime}$ exists and is continuous on $\mathbb{R}$ if and only if $a \gt 4$.

Hence, the correct answer is options: 'B', 'D'.
