A function is defined as follows: = \) ^{2} & \text { for } \frac{\pi}{2} \leq x
A function \( f \) is defined as follows: \( \boldsymbol{f}(\boldsymbol{x})= \) \( \left\{\begin{array}{ll}1 & \text { for }-\infty< \\ 1+\sin x & \text { for } 0 \leq x<\frac{\pi}{2} \\ 2+\left(x-\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{2} & \text { for } \frac{\pi}{2} \leq x<+\infty\end{array}\right. \) Discuss the continunity and differentiability at \( \boldsymbol{x}=\mathbf{0} \& \boldsymbol{x}=\boldsymbol{\pi} / \mathbf{2} \) This question has multiple correct options
- A. continuous but not differentiable at \( x=0 \)
- B. differentiable and continuous at \( x=\pi / 2 \)
- C. neither continuous but nor differentiable at \( x=0 \)
- D. continuous but not differentiable at \( x=\pi / 2 \)
Step-by-step solution
At x=0, left limit = right limit = f(0)=1, so continuous. Left derivative = 0, right derivative = cos0=1, not equal, hence not differentiable. At x=π/2, both continuity and differentiability hold. Thus option A is a correct statement; note option B is also correct but only one can be selected.
