Question : 10 of 20
Marks: +1, -0
If f(x)=x+x1,f(x) = \left| x \right| + \left| x-1 \right| , then which of the following is correct?
Solution:  
f(x)={xx+1,x>0x(x1),0x<1x+x1,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<01,0x<12x1,x1f(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
limx0+f(x)=limx0f(x)=f(0)\lim\limits_{x \to 0^{+}} f(x)=\lim\limits_{x \to 0^{-}} f(x)=f(0)
1=limh0f(0h)=1\Rightarrow 1=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} f(0-h)=1
1=limh0(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
limh0f(x)=limx1+f(x)=f(1)\lim\limits_{h \to 0} f(x)=\lim\limits_{x \to 1^{+}} f(x)=f(1)
limh0f(1h)=limh0f(1+h)=f(1)\lim\limits_{h \to 0} f(1-h)=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} f(1+h)=f(1)
1=limh0(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
limx0+f(x)=limx0f(0+h)f(0)h\lim\limits_{x \to 0^{+}} f'(x)=\lim\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{f(0+h)-f(0)}{h}
=limh011h=0=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{1-1}{h}=0
limx0f(x)=limh0f(0h)f(0)h\lim\limits_{x \to 0^{-}} f'(x)=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(0-h)-f(0)}{-h}
=limh02(h)+11h=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+)=limh0f(1+h)f(1)hf'(1^{+})=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{f(1+h)-f(1)}{h}
=limh02(1+h)11h=\lim\limits_{h \to 0} \frac{2(1+h)-1-1}{h}
=limh02hh=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
