(2) Continuous on [–1, 1] and differentiable on (–1, 0) (0, 1)
(3) Continuous and differentiable on (–1, 1)

=

which does not exist when 1  x 2 = 0, 1
 f(x) is differentiable at all x  [–1, 1] except when x2 = 0, 1.

20. Domain of differentiability of the function f(x) = |x – 2| cos x is
(1) R (2) R – {2} (3) (0, ) (4) {2}
Sol. Answer (2)
As |x – 2| is not derivable when x – 2 = 0, i.e. when x = 2, therefore f(x) = |x – 2| cos x is derivable at all
(cos x )( x  2)
x  R except at x = 2 and f'(x) = |x – 2| (–sin x) + .

21. Let f ( x )  , where [ ] denotes the greatest integer function, then f(x) is
1  [ x ]2
(1) Continuous and differentiable at all x R (2) Continuous but not differentiable at some x
(3) Differentiable but not continuous at x = 0 (4) Neither continuous nor differentiable at x = 0
Sol. Answer (1)
As [x + ] is always an integer and sine of an integral multiple of  is zero, therefore, numerator of f(x) is 0
for all x  R and denominator is always positive
 f(x) = 0 for all x  R
So, f(x) is a constant function with Df = R
Hence, f(x) is continuous and derivable at all x  R.

Sol. Answer (3)

| f (x )  f (y ) | (x  y )
 lim  lim
x y |xy | x  y |xy |
 | f'(y) |  0  | f'(y) | = 0
f'(y) = 0
f(y) = a
f (0) = a = 0 i.e., f(y) = 0,  y  R
Hence f(1) = 0

111. Let F(x) = f(x).g(x).h(x) xR and f(x), g(x), h(x) are differentiable functions at some point x0R.
F(x0) = 21 F(x0), f (x0) = 4f(x0)
g(x0) = –7g(x0) and h(x0) = kh(x0).
Then 3k + 28 is equal to
(1) 20 (2) 50 (3) 100 (4) 200
Sol. Answer (3)
F(x) = f(x).g(x).h(x)
 F'(x) = f'(x).g(x).h(x) + f(x ).g'(x.h(x)) + f(x).g(x).h'(x)
 F'(x0) = f'(x0).g(x0).h(x0) + f(x0).g'(x0).h(x0) + f(x0).g(x0).h'(x0)
 21F(x0) = 4 f(x0).g(x0).h(x0) – 7 f(x0).g(x0).h(x0) + k f(x0).g(x0).h(x0)
 21F(x0) = (–3 + k) F(x0), k = 24
Hence 3k + 28 = 100.
Mean Value Theorem and Functional Equation

112. Rolle’s theorem is not applicable to f(x) = |x| in [–2, 2] because
(1) f(x) is not continuous in [–2, 2] (2) f(x) is not derivable in (–2, 2)
(3) f(2)  f(–2) (4) It is applicable
Sol. Answer (2)
f(x) = |x| is continuous in [–2, 2]
Also, f (2) = f(–2) = 2, but f(x) is not
derivable at x = 0
113. Lagrange’s mean value theorem is not applicable to f(x) in [1, 4] where f(x) =
(1) x2 – 2x (2) |x – 2| (3) x |x| (4) x3
Sol. Answer (2)
f(x) = |x – 2| is not derivable at x = 2  (1, 4)
Hence, LMVT is not applicable to f(x) = |x – 2| in [1, 4].

By Lagrange’s  f (c )
1  ( 1)
i.e., 0 = f'(c) where – 1 < c < 1
If x > 0, f(x) = x therefore f'(x) = 1 and
If x < 0, f(x) = –x therefore f'(x) = –1
Hence, there is no c  0 for which 0 = f'(c) holds. Also at x = 0, f(x) is not differentiable.
Hence, c has no value.

Let us put x = 0, y = 0 in f(x + y) = f(x). f(y)
 f(0) = f(0)2
 f(0) = 1 as f(0) = 0

Although f(f(f(x))) = x but f(f(f(x))) exist only when f(f(x)) and f(x) exist.
Hence f(f(f(x))) is discontinuous at x = 0 and x = 1
4. A function is defined as follows

 lim f ( x )  
x 1 3

Also, lim f ( x )  
x 0 5

and lim f ( x )   =  lim f ( x )  0
x  2( )  5  x 
lim f(x) 
Hence lim f ( x ) does not exist at x = 5/2.

Again, y = tan x tan 2x tan 3x

Also, xsin  0 as x  0 and  0 as x  0

Here we may generalize the result at x = k (a integer)
R.H.L. at (x = k) = lim [k  h]2  [(k  h )2 ]  k 2  k 2  0

h 0
L.H.L. at ( x  k )  lim [k  h]2  [(k  h )2 ] = (k – 1)2 – (k2 – 1) = 2k – 2.

h 0
If R.H.L. = L.H.L
 2k – 2 = 0 k = 1
Hence lim f ( x ) exist and lim f ( x )  0

4 4 4 4
The function is even. There are four points in (0, 2) where it is not differentiable. Hence in [–2, 2] there are
8 such points

y = ||x| = – 3|
It is clear from the graph that there are three points where there is sharp corner. Hence there are three points
where function is not differentiable.

6. Let P(x) be a polynomial of degree 4, with P(2) = –1, P I(2) = 0, P II(2) = 2, P III(2) = –12 and P IV (2) = 24.
Calculate P II(1).....
Sol. Let p(x) = ax4 + bx3 + cx2 + dx + e
 p'(x) = 4ax3 + 3bx2 + 2cx + d
 p''(x) = 12ax2 + 6bx + 2c
 p'''(x) = 24ax + 6b
 piv(x) = 24a
 piv(2) = 24a
 24 = 24a a=1
Now p'''(2) = 48a + 6b
 –12 = 48 + 6b
 6b = –60  b = –10
Also p''(2) = 12a(2)2 + 12b + 2c
 2 = 48 – 120 + 2c
 –46 + 120 = 2c  c = 37
Hence p''(1) = 12a + 6b + 2c = 12 – 60 + 74 = 26
