MCQ
Consider $f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l}\frac{{{x^2}}}{{|x|}},\,x \ne 0\\\,\,\,\,\,\,\,0,\,x = 0\end{array} \right.$
  • A
    $f(x)$ is discontinuous everywhere
  • ✓
    $f(x)$ is continuous everywhere
  • C
    $f'(x)$ exists in $( - 1,1)$
  • D
    $f'(x) $ exists in $( - 2,2)$
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
$f(x)$ is continuous everywhere
b
(b) We have $f(x) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{r}}{\frac{{{x^2}}}{{|x|}},}&{x \ne 0}\\{0,}&{x = 0}\end{array} = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{r}}{\frac{{{x^2}}}{x} = x,}&{x > 0}\\{0,}&{x = 0}\\{\frac{{{x^2}}}{{ - x}} = - x,}&{x < 0}\end{array}} \right.} \right.$

We have $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0 - } f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \, - x = 0,\,\,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0 + } f(x) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} x = 0$ 

and $f(0) = 0.$

So $f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 0.$

Also $f(x)$ is continuous for all other values of $x.$

Hence, $f(x)$ is continuous everywhere. 

Clearly, $Lf'(0) = - 1$ and $Rf'(0) = 1.$ 

Therefore $f(x)$ is not differentiable at $x = 0.$
