MCQ

Consider the function $f (x) =\left\{ \begin{array}{l} x\,\sin \frac{\pi }{x}\,\,\,for\,\,x\, > 0\\ 0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,for\,\,x\, = \,0 \end{array} \right.$ then the number of points in $(0, 1)$ where the derivative $ f '(x)$ vanishes , is

A
$0$
B
$1$
C
$2$
✓
infinite

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

infinite

d
$f (x)$ vanishes at points where $sin \frac{\pi}{x}= 0$ i.e. $\frac{\pi}{x}= k\pi$ , $k = 1, 2, 3, 4, .....$

hence $x = \frac{1}{k} $. Also $f ' (x) = sin\frac{\pi}{x}- \frac{\pi}{x} cos\frac{\pi}{x}$ if $x \ne 0$

Since the function has a derivative at any interior point of the interval $(0, 1),$ also continuous in $[0,1]$ and

$f (0) = f (1)$ hence Rolle's theorem is applicable to any one of the interval $\left[ {\frac{1}{2}\,,\,1} \right]$, $\left[ {\frac{1}{3}\,,\,\frac{1}{2}\,} \right]$, …. $\left[ {\frac{1}{{k + 1}}\,,\,\frac{1}{k}\,} \right]$

hence some $c$ in each of these interval where $f' (c) = 0 ==> $infinite points $ ==>(D) $
