Question : 10 of 20
Marks: +1, -0
If f(x)=∣x∣+∣x−1∣,f(x) = \left| x \right| + \left| x-1 \right| , then which of the following is correct?
Solution:  
f(x)={−x−x+1,x>0x−(x−1),0≤x<1x+x−1,x>1f(x)=\begin{cases} -x-x+1, & x>0 \\ x-(x-1), & 0 \le x < 1 \\ x+x-1, & x>1 \end{cases}
f(x)={−2x+1,x<01,0≤x<12x−1,x≥1f(x)=\begin{cases} -2x+1, & x<0 \\ 1, & 0 \le x < 1 \\ 2x-1, & x \ge 1 \end{cases}
Now: If f(x) is continuous at x = 0
lim⁡x→0+f(x)=lim⁡x→0−f(x)=f(0)\lim\limits_{x \to 0^{+}} f(x)=\lim\limits_{x \to 0^{-}} f(x)=f(0)
⇒1=lim⁡h→0f(0−h)=1\Rightarrow 1=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} f(0-h)=1
⇒1=lim⁡h→0(−2(−h)+1)=1\Rightarrow 1=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} (-2(-h)+1)=1
⇒1=1=1\Rightarrow 1=1=1
Which is true
⇒f(x)\Rightarrow f(x) is continuous at x = 0
Similarly for continuity at x = 1
lim⁡h→0f(x)=lim⁡x→1+f(x)=f(1)\lim\limits_{h \to 0} f(x)=\lim\limits_{x \to 1^{+}} f(x)=f(1)
lim⁡h→0f(1−h)=lim⁡h→0f(1+h)=f(1)\lim\limits_{h \to 0} f(1-h)=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} f(1+h)=f(1)
1=lim⁡h→0(2(1+h)−1)=11=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} (2(1+h)-1)=1
⇒1=1=1\Rightarrow 1=1=1
⇒f(x)\Rightarrow f(x) is continuous at x = 1
When x >0
lim⁡x→0+f′(x)=lim⁡x→0f(0+h)−f(0)h\lim\limits_{x \to 0^{+}} f'(x)=\lim\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{f(0+h)-f(0)}{h}
=lim⁡h→01−1h=0=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{1-1}{h}=0
lim⁡x→0−f′(x)=lim⁡h→0f(0−h)−f(0)−h\lim\limits_{x \to 0^{-}} f'(x)=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(0-h)-f(0)}{-h}
=lim⁡h→0−2(−h)+1−1−h=−2=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{-2(-h)+1-1}{-h}=-2
∴f′(0+)≠f′(0−)\therefore f'(0^{+}) \neq f'(0^{-})
∴ f(x) is not differentiable at x = 0
Now f′(1+)=lim⁡h→0f(1+h)−f(1)hf'(1^{+})=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(1+h)-f(1)}{h}
=lim⁡h→02(1+h)−1−1h=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{2(1+h)-1-1}{h}
=lim⁡h→02hh=2=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{2h}{h}=2
∴f′(1+)≠f′(1−)\therefore f'(1^{+}) \neq f'(1^{-})
⇒f(x)\Rightarrow f(x) is not differentiable at x = 1
∴ f(x) is continuous at x = 0,1 and non-differentiable at x = 0,1
