MCQ
If $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{k x}{|x|} \text {, if } x<0 \\ 3, \text { if } x \geq 0\end{array}\right.$ is continuous at $x=0$, then the value of $k$ is
  • A
    -3
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    3
  • D
    any real number

Answer

$\begin{array}{l}\text {} f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{k x}{|x|}, \text { if } x<0 \\ 3, \text { if } x \geq 0\end{array}\right. \\ \text { Since, } f \text { is continuous at } x=0, \\ \Rightarrow \quad \text { L.H.L }=\text { R.H.L. }=f(0) \\ \Rightarrow \quad \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=f(0) \\ \Rightarrow \quad \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{-k x}{x}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} 3=3 \Rightarrow k=-3 .\end{array}$
