Maths · Limits, continuity and differentiability

The function =\sin ^{-1}(\cos x) \) is :

The function \( f(x)=\sin ^{-1}(\cos x) \) is :

  • A. discontinuous at \( =0 \)
  • B. continuous at \( =0 \)
  • C. differentiable \( =0 \)
  • D. none of these

Step-by-step solution

The function f(x) = sin^{-1}(cos x) is continuous at x=0 because both cos x and sin^{-1} are continuous functions, and their composition is continuous. However, it is not differentiable at x=0 because the left-hand derivative (1) and right-hand derivative (-1) differ.
