Q1 Prove that the function f(x) = 5x − 3 is continuous at x = 0, at x = − 3 and at x = 5

Answer.
The given function is f(x) = 5x − 3
At x = 0, f(0) = 5 × 0 − 3 = 3
lim x → 0f(x) = lim x → 0(5x − 3) = 5 × 0 − 3 = − 3
∴ lim x → 0f(x) = f(0)
Therefore, f is continuous at x = 0
At x = − 3, f( − 3) = 5 × ( − 3) − 3 = − 18
lim x → − 3f(x) = lim x → − 3(5x − 3) = 5 × ( − 3) − 3 = − 18
∴ lim x → − 3f(x) = f( − 3)
Therefore, f is continuous at x = − 3
At x = 5, f(x) = f(5) = 5 × 5 − 3 = 25 − 3 = 22
lim x → 5f(x) = lim x → 5(5x − 3) = 5 × 5 − 3 = 22
∴ lim x → 5f(x) = f(5)
Therefore, f is continuous at x = 5

At x = 3, f(x) = f(3) = 2 × 3 2 − 1 = 17

( )
lim x → 3f(x) = lim x → 3 2x 2 − 1 = 2 × 3 2 − 1 = 17

∴ lim x → 3f(x) = f(3)
Thus, f is continuous at x = 3

Q3Processing
Examine the 100%
math: following functions for continuity.

Page 3

(a)f(x) = x − 5
1
(b) f(x) = x − 5 , x ≠ 5
x 2 − 25
(c)f(x) = x + 5 , x ≠ − 5
(d)f(x) = | x − 5 |

Answer.
(a) The given function is f(x) = x − 5
It is evident that f is defined at every real number k and its value at k is k − 5 .
It is also observed that, f(x) = lim x → k(x − 5) = k − 5 = f(k)
∴ lim x → kf(x) = f(k)
Hence, f is continuous at every real number and therefore, it is a continuous function.

1
(b)f(x) = x − 5 , x ≠ 5
For any real number k ≠ 5, we obtain
1 1
lim x → kf(x) = lim x → k x − 5 = k − 5
1
Also, f(k) = k − 5 ( As k ≠ 5)
∴ lim x → tf(x) = f(k)
∴ lim x → kf(x) = f(k)
Hence, f is continuous at every point in the domain of f and therefore, it is a continuous
function.

x 2 − 25
(c) The given function is f(x) = x + 5 , x ≠ − 5
For any real number c ≠ − 5, we obtain
x 2 − 25 (x+5) (x−5)
lim x → ∞f(x) = lim x → ∞ x + 5 = lim x → c x+5
= lim x → ∞(x − 5) = (c − 5)
(c+5) (c−5)
Also, f(c) = c+5
= (c − 5)( as c ≠ − 5)
∴ lim x → ∞f(x) = f(c)
Hence, f is continuous at every point in the domain of f and therefore, it is a continuous
function.

(d)The given function f(x) = | x − 5 | =
{ 5 − x, if x < 5
x − 5, if x ≥ 5
This function f is defined at all points of the real line.
Let c be a point on a real line. Then, c < 5 or c = 5 or c > 5
Case 1 : c < 5
Then, f(c) = 5 − c

Page 4

lim x → ∞f(x) = lim x → ∞(5 − x) = 5 − c
∴ lim x → ef(x) = f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all real numbers less than 5 .
Case II : c = 5
Then, f(c) = f(5) = (5 − 5) = 0
lim x → 5f(x) = lim x → 5(5 − x) = (5 − 5) = 0
lim x → 5f(x) = lim x → 5(x − 5) = 0
∴ lim x → 5f(x) = lim x → c ∗ f(x) = f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at x = 5
Case III: c > 5
Then, f(c) = f(5) = c − 5
lim x → cf(x) = lim x → ∞(x − 5) = c − 5
∴ lim x → cf(x) = f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at every real numbers greater than 5 .
Hence, f is continuous at every real number and therefore, it is a continuous function.

Q4 Prove that the function f(x) = x ′′ is continuous at x = n, where n is a positive integer.

Answer.
The given function is f(x) = x n
It is evident that f is defined at all positive integers, n, and its value at n is n n .

( )
Then, lim x → mf(n) = lim x → m x n = n n
∴ lim x → nf(x) = f(n)
Therefore, f is continuous at n, where n is a positive integer.

Q5
Is the function f defined by

f(x) = { x, if x ≤ 1
5, if x > 1
continuous at x = 0 ? At x = 1 ? At x = 2 ?

Answer. The given function f is

f(x) = { x, if x ≤ 1
5, if x > 1

Page 5

It is evident that f is defined at 0 and its value at 0 is 0 .
Then, lim x → 0f(x) = lim x → 0x = 0
∴ lim x → 0f(x) = f(0)
Therefore, f is continuous at x = 0
At x = 1
f is defined at 1 and its value at 1 is 1 . lim x → 1 + f(x) = lim x → 1 + (5) = 5
The left hand limit of f at x = 1 is, ∴ lim x → 1f(x) ≠ lim x → 1 + f(x)
lim x → 1f(x) = lim x → 1x = 1
The right hand limit of f at x = 1 is,
Therefore, f is not continuous at x = 1
At x = 2,
f is defined at 2 and its value at 2 is 5 .
Then, lim x → 2f(x) = lim x → 2(5) = 5
∴ lim x → 2f(x) = f(2)
Therefore, f is continuous at x = 2

Q6 Find all points of discontinuity of f, where f is de ned by

f(x) = { 2x + 3, if x ≤ 2
2x − 3, if x > 2

Answer. The given function f is f(x) =
{ 2x + 3, if x ≤ 2
2x − 3, if x > 2
It is evident that the given function f is de ned at all the points of the real line. Let c be a point on
the real line. Then, three cases arise
(i) c < 2
(ii) c > 2
(iii) c = 2

Case (i)c < 2
Then, f(c) = 2c + 3
lim x → cf(x) = lim x → ∞(2x + 3) = 2c + 3
∴ lim x → cf(x) = f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all points x, such that x < 2
case (ii) c > 2
Then, f(c) = 2c − 3
lim x → ∞f(x) = lim x → ∞(2x − 3) = 2c − 3
∴ lim x → ∞f(x) = f(c)

Page 6

Therefore, f is continuous at all points x, such that x > 2
case (iii) c = 2
Then, the left hand limit of f at x = 2 is,
lim x → 2f(x) = lim x → 2(2x + 3) = 2 × 2 + 3 = 7
The right hand limit of f at x = 2 is,
lim x → 2 + f(x) = lim x → 2 2(2x − 3) = 2 × 2 − 3 = 1
It is observed that the left and right hand limit of f at x = 2 do not coincide. Therefore, f is not
continuous at x = 2 Hence, x = 2 is the only point of discontinuity of f.

Q7 Find all points of discontinuity of f, where f is de ned by

{
| x | + 3, if x ≤ − 3
f(x) = − 2x, if − 3 < x < 3
6x + 2, if x ≥ 3

Answer. The given function f is

{
| x | + 3 = − x + 3, if x ≤ − 3
f(x) = − 2x, if − 3 < x < 3
6x + 2, if x ≥ 3
The given function f is de ned at all the points of the real line. Let c be a point on the real line.
Case I:
If c < − 3, then f(c) = − c + 3
lim x → cf(x) = lim x → ∞( − x + 3) = − c + 3
∴ lim x → cf(x) = f(c)
Case II:
If c = − 3, then f( − 3) = − ( − 3) + 3 = 6
lim x → − 3f(x) = lim x → − 3( − x + 3) = − ( − 3) + 3 = 6
lim x → − 3 + f(x) = lim x → − 3 + ( − 2x) = − 2 × ( − 3) = 6
∴ lim x → − 3f(x) = f( − 3)
Therefore, f is continuous at x = − 3
Case III:
If − 3 < c < 3, then f(c) = − 2c and lim x → cf(x) = lim x → c( − 2x) = − 2c
∴ lim x → ∞f(x) = f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous in ( − 3, 3) .
Case IV:
If c = 3, then the left hand limit of f at x = 3 is,
lim x → 3f(x)math:
Processing = lim x → y( − 2x) = − 2 × 3 = − 6
100%

Page 7

The right hand limit of f at x = 3 is,
lim x → 1f(x) = lim (6x + 2) = 6 × 3 + 2 = 20
It is observed that the left and right hand limit of f at x = 3 do not coincide.
Therefore, f is not continuous at x = 3
Case v:
If c > 3, then f(c) = 6c + 2 and lim x → cf(x) = lim x → ϵ(6x + 2) = 6c + 2
∴ lim x → ∞f(x) = f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all points x, such that x > 3
Hence, x = 3 is the only point of discontinuity of f .

The given function f is de ned at all the points of the real line. Let c be a point on the real line.
Case I:
If c < 0, then f(c) = − 1

Therefore, f is continuous at all points x < 0

Page 8

Case II:
If c = 0, then the left hand limit of f at x = 0 is,
lim x → ∞f(x) = lim x → 0( − 1) = − 1
The right hand limit of f at x = 0 is,
lim x → ∞f(x) = lim x → 0 + (1) = 1
It is observed that the left and right hand limit of f at x = 0 do not coincide.
Therefore, f is not continuous at x = 0
Case III:
If c > 0, then f(c) = 1
lim x → ∞f(x) = lim x → e(1) = 1
∴ lim x → ∞f(x) = f(c)

lim x → 1 + f(x) = lim x → 1 1(x + 1) = 1 + 1 = 2
∴ lim x → 1f(x) = f(1)
Therefore, f is continuous at x = 1
Case III:
If c > 1, then f(c) = c + 1
lim x → ∞f(x) = lim x → c(x + 1) = c + 1

Answer. The give function is

{
2x, if x < 0
f(x) = 0, if 0 ≤ x ≤ 1
4x, if x > 1
The given function is de ned at all points of the real line. Let c be a point on the real line.
Case I:
If c < 0, then f(c) = 2c
lim x → cf(x) = lim x → c(2x) = 2c
∴ lim x → ∞f(x) = f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all points x, such that x < 0

Page 14

Case II:
If c = 0, then f(c) = f(0) = 0
The left hand limit of f at x = 0 is,
lim x → 0f(x) = lim x → 0 + (2x) = 2 × 0 = 0
The right hand limit of f at x = 0 is,
lim x → 0 + f(x) = lim x → 0 + (0) = 0
∴ lim x → 0 + f(x) = f(0)
Therefore, f is continuous at x = 0
Case III:
If 0 < c < 1, then f(x) = 0 and lim x → ∞f(x) = lim (0) = 0
∴ lim x → ∞f(x) = f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all points of the interval (0, 1).
Case IV:
If c = 1, then f(c) = f(1) = 0
The left hand limit of f at x = 1 is,
lim x → 1f(x) = lim (0) = 0
The right hand limit of f at x = 1 is,
lim x → 1f(x) = lim x → 1 + (4x) = 4 × 1 = 4
It is observed that the left and right hand limits of f at x = 1 do not coincide. Therefore, f is not
continuous at x = 1
Case V :
If c < 1, then f(c) = 4c and lim x → cf(x) = lim x → c(4x) = 4c
∴ lim x → cf(x) = f(c)

2, if x > 1

Answer. The given function is

{
− 2, if x ≤ − 1

math: 100%

Page 15

Case I:
If c < − 1, then f(c) = − 2 and lim x → ϵf(x) = lim x → c( − 2) = − 2
∴ lim x → ∞f(x) = f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all points x, such that x < − 1
Case II:
If c = − 1, then f(c) = f( − 1) = − 2
The left hand limit of f at x = − 1 is,
lim x → − 1f(x) = lim x → − 1( − 2) = − 2
The right hand limit of f at x = − 1 is,
lim x → − 1 + f(x) = lim x → − 1 + (2x) = 2 × ( − 1) = − 2
∴ lim x → − 1f(x) = f( − 1)
Therefore, f is continuous at x = − 1
Case III:
If − 1 < c < 1, then f(c) = 2c
Therefore, f is continuous at all points of the interval (−1, 1)
lim x → ∞f(x) = lim x → ∞(2x) = 2c
∴ lim f(x) = f(c)
Case IV
If c = 1, then f(c) = f(1) = 2 × 1 = 2
The left hand limit of f at x = 1 is,
lim x → 1f(x) = lim x → 1(2x) = 2 × 1 = 2
The right hand limit of f at x = 1 is,
lim x → 1f(x) = lim x → 1 12 = 2
∴ lim x → 1f(x) = f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at x = 2
Case V :
If c > 1, then f(c) = 2 and lim x → cf(x) = lim x → c(2) = 2
lim x → cf(x) = f(c)
Therefore, f is continuous at all points x, such that x > 1
Thus, from the above observations, it can be concluded that f is continuous at all points
of the real line.

Q17 Find the relationship between a and b so that the function f de ned by

f(x) =
{ ax + 1, if x ≤ 3
bx + 3, if x > 3
is continuous at x = 3

Answer. The given function f is

Page 16

f(x) =
{ ax + 1, if x ≤ 3
bx + 3, if x > 3
If f is continuous at x = 3, then
lim x → 3f(x) = lim x → 3 + f(x) = f(3)
Also,
lim x → 3f(x) = lim x → 3(ax + 1) = 3a + 1
lim x → 3f(x) = lim x → 3 3(bx + 3) = 3b + 3
f(3) = 3a + 1
Therefore, from (1), we obtain
3a + 1 = 3b + 3 = 3a + 1
⇒ 3a + 1 = 3b + 3
⇒ 3a = 3b + 2
2
⇒a=b+ 3

Answer. The given function is

f(x) =
{ (
λ x 2 − 2x ,

4x + 1,
)
if x > 0
if x ≤ 0

If f is continuous at x = 0, then
lim x → ∞f(x) = lim x → 0f(x) = f(0)

( ) (
⇒ lim x → ∞λ x 2 − 2x = lim x → 0 − (4x + 1) = λ 0 2 − 2 × 0 )
( )
⇒ λ 02 − 2 × 0 = 4 × 0 + 1 = 0

⇒ 0 = 1 = 0, which is not possible
Therefore, there is no value of λ for which f is continuous at x = 0

Page 17

At x = 1
f(1) = 4x + 1 = 4 × 1 + 1 = 5
lim x → 1(4x + 1) = 4 × 1 + 1 = 5
∴ lim x → 1f(x) = f(1)
Therefore, for any values of λ , f is continuous at x = 1

Here [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x.

Answer.
The given function is g ( x ) = x − [x]
It is evident that g is defined at all integral points.
Let n be an integer.
Then,

Therefore, g is continuous at all points x, such that x < 0
Case II:

∴ lim x → 0g(x) = lim x → 0 ( (x) = g(0)
Therefore, g is continuous at x = 0 From the above three observations, it can be concluded that g is
continuous at all points.
h (x) = sin x
It is evident that h (x) = sin x is de ned for every real number. Let c be a real number. Put x = c + k
If x → c, then k → 0 h (c) = sin c
lim h(x) = lim sinx
x→c
= lim sin(c + k)
x→c

k→0
= lim (sinccosk) + lim (coscsink)
k→0 h→0

∴ lim x → ch(x) = g(c)
Therefore, h is a continuous function.
It is known that for real valued functions g and h,such that (g o h) is de ned at c, if g is continuous
at c and if f is continuous at g (c), then (f o g) is continuous at c.
f(x) = (goh)(x) = g(h(x)) = g(sinx) = | sinx | is a continuous function.

Q34 Find all
Processing the 100%
math: points of discontinuity of f defined by f(x) = | x | − | x + 1 |

Page 29

Answer. The given function is f(x) = | x | − | x + 1 |
The two functions, g and h, are defined as
g(x) = | x | and h(x) = | x + 1 |
Then, f = g − h
The continuity of g and h is examined first.
g(x) = | x | Can be written as

g(x) = { − x, if x < 0
x, if x ≥ 0
Clearly, g is de ned for all real numbers. Let c be a real number.
Case I:
If c < 0, then g(c) = − c and lim x → ϵg(x) = lim x → c( − x) = − c
∴ lim x → cg(x) = g(c)
Therefore, g is continuous at all points x, such that x < 0
Case II:
If c > 0, then g(c) = c and lim g(x) = lim x = c
∴ lim x → cg(x) = g(c)
Case III:
If c = 0, then g(c) = g(0) = 0
lim x → 0g(x) = lim x → 0( − x) = 0
lim x → 0 + g(x) = lim x → 0 ′(x) = 0
∴ lim x → 0g(x) = lim x → 0 + (x) = g(0)
Therefore, g is continuous at x = 0
Therefore, g is continuous at x = 0 From the above three observations, it can be concluded that g is
continuous at all points.
h(x) = | x + 1 | can be written as
Clearly, h is de ned for every real number.
Let c be a real number.
Case I:
If c < − 1, then h(c) = − (c + 1) and lim x → ϵh(x) = lim x → ∞[ − (x + 1)] = − (c + 1)
∴ lim x → ch(x) = h(c)
Therefore, h is continuous at all points x, such that x < − 1
Case II:
If c > − 1, then h(c) = c + 1 and lim x → ch(x) = lim x → c(x + 1) = c + 1
∴ lim x → ∞h(x) = h(c)
Therefore, h is continuous at all points x, such that x > − 1

Page 30

Case III:
If c = − 1, then h(c) = h( − 1) = − 1 + 1 = 0
lim x → − 1h(x) = lim x → − 1 + [ − (x + 1)] = − ( − 1 + 1) = 0
lim x → − 1 − h(x) = lim x → − 1 + (x + 1) = ( − 1 + 1) = 0
∴ lim x → − 1 − h(x) = lim x → − 1 − h(x) = h( − 1)
Therefore, h is continuous at x = −1 From the above three observations, it can be concluded that h
is continuous at all points of the real line. g and h are continuous functions. Therefore, f = g − h is
also a continuous function. Therefore, f has no point of discontinuity.

Q1 Verify Rolle’s Theorem for the function f(x) = x 2 + 2x − 8, x ∈ [ − 4, 2]

Answer. The given function f(x) = x 2 + 2x − 8, being a polynomial function, is continuous in [−4, 2]
and is differentiable in (−4, 2).
f( − 4) = ( − 4) 2 + 2 × ( − 4) − 8 = 16 − 8 − 8 = 0
f(2) = (2) 2 + 2 × 2 − 8 = 4 + 4 − 8 = 0
∴ f( − 4) = f(2) = 0
⇒ Thevalueoff(x)at − 4and2coincides.
Rolle’s Theorem states that there is a point c ∈ ( − 4, 2) such that f ′(c) = 0
f(x) = x 2 + 2x − 8
⇒ f ′(x) = 2x + 2
∴ f ′(c) = 0
⇒ 2c + 2 = 0
⇒ c = − 1, where c = − 1 ∈ ( − 4, 2)
Hence, Rolle's Theorem is verified for the given function.

Page : 186 , Block Name : Exercise 5.8

Q2 Examine if Rolle’s Theorem is applicable to any of the following functions. Can you say
something about the converse of Rolle’s Theorem from these examples?
f(x) = [x] for x ∈ [5, 9]
f(x) = [x] for x ∈ [ − 2, 2]
(iii) f(x) = x 2 − 1 for x ∈ [1, 2]

Answer.
By Rolle's Theorem, for a function f : [a, b] → R , if
(a) f is continuous on [a, b]
(b) f is differentiable on (a, b)
(c) f(a) = f(b)
then, there exists some c ∈ (a, b) such that f ′(c) = 0
Therefore, Rolle's Theorem is not applicable to those functions that do not satisfy any of
the three conditions of the hypothesis.
(i) f(x) = [x] for x ∈ [5, 9]
It is evident that the given function f(x) is not continuous at every integral point.
In particular, f(x) is not continuous at x = 5 and x = 9
⇒ f(x) is not continuous in [5, 9]
Also, f(5) = [5] = 5 and f(9) = [9] = 9
∴ f(5) ≠ f(9)
The differentiability of f in (5, 9) is checked as follows.

Page 87

The left hand limit of f at x = n is,
f(n+h) −f(n) [n+h] − [n] n−1−n −1
lim h → 0 h
= lim h → ∞ h
= lim h → 0 h
= lim h → ∞ h = ∞
The right hand limit of f at x = n is,
f(n+h) −f(n) [n+h] − [n] n−n
lim h → ∞ h
= lim h → 0 + h
= lim h → 0 h = lim h → ∞0 = 0
Since the left and right hand limits of f at x = n are not equal, f is not differentiable at x = n
∴f is not differentiable in (5, 9).
It is observed that f does not satisfy all the conditions of the hypothesis of Rolle's
Theorem.
Hence, Rolle's Theorem is not applicable for f(x) = [x] for x ∈ [5, 9]
(ii) f(x) = [x] for x ∈ [ − 2, 2]
It is evident that the given function f(x) is not continuous at every integral point
In particular, f(x) is not continuous at x = − 2 and x = 2
⇒ f(x) is not continuous in [ − 2, 2] .
Also, f( − 2) = [ − 2] = − 2 and f(2) = [2] = 2
∴ f( − 2) ≠ f(2)
∴ f( − 2) ≠ f(2)
The differentiability of f in ( − 2, 2) is checked as follows.
The left hand limit of f at x = n is,
f(n+h) −f(n) [n+h] − [n] n−1−n −1
lim h → 0 h
= lim h → 0 h
= lim h → 0 h
= lim h → ∞ h = ∞
The right hand limit of f at x = n is,
f(n+h) −f(n) [n+h] − [n] n−n
lim h → 0 h
= lim h → 0 − h
= lim h → 0 h = lim h → ∞0 = 0
Since the left and right hand limits of f at x = n are not equal, f is not differentiable at x
=n
∴ f is not differentiable in ( − 2, 2)
It is observed that f does not satisfy all the conditions of the hypothesis of Rolle's
Theorem.
Hence, Rolles Theorem is not applicable for f(x) = [x] for x ∈ [ − 2, 2]
(iii) f(x) = x 2 − 1 for x ∈ [1, 2]
It is evident that f, being a polynomial function, is continuous in [1, 2] and is
differentiable in (1, 2) .
f(1) = (1) 2 − 1 = 0
f(2) = (2) 2 − 1 = 3

Q4
Verify Mean value Theorem, if f(x) = x 2 − 4x − 3 in the interval [a, b], where
a = 1 and b = 4 .

Answer.
The given function is f(x) = x 2 − 4x − 3
f being a polynomial function, is continuous in [1, 4] and is differentiable in (1, 4)
whose derivative is 2x − 4.
f(1) = 1 2 − 4 × 1 − 3 = − 6, f(4) = 4 2 − 4 × 4 − 3 = − 3
f(b) −f(a) f(4) −f(1) −3− ( −6) 3
∴ b−a
= 4−1
= 3
= 3 =1

Mean Value Theorem states that there is a point c ∈ (1, 4) such that f ′(c) = 1
f ′(c) = 1
⇒ 2c − 4 = 1

Verify Mean Value Theorem, if f(x) = x 3 − 5x 2 − 3x in the interval [a, b], where a = 1 and
b = 3. Find all c ∈ ( 1 , 3 ) for which f ′(c) = 0

Answer.
The given function f is f(x) = x 3 − 5x 2 − 3x
f, being a polynomial function, is continuous in [1, 3] and is differentiable in (1, 3)
whose derivative is 3x 2 − 10x − 3 .
f(1) = 1 3 − 5 × 1 2 − 3 × 1 = − 7, f(3) = 3 3 − 5 × 3 2 − 3 × 3 = − 27
f(b) −f(a) f(3) −f(1) − 27 − ( − 7 )
∴ b−a
= 3−1
= 3−1
= − 10
f ′(c) = − 10
⇒ 3c 2 − 10c − 3 = 10
⇒ 3c 2 − 10c + 7 = 0
⇒ 3c 2 − 3c − 7c + 7 = 0
⇒ 3c(c − 1) − 7(c − 1) = 0
⇒ (c − 1)(3c − 7) = 0
7 7
⇒ c = 1, 3 , where c = 3 ϵ(1, 3)

Q6 Examine the applicability of Mean Value Theorem for all three functions given in the above Q2.

Answer.
Mean Value Theorem states that for a function f : [a, b] → R , if
(i) f is continuous on [a, b]
(ii) f is differentiable on (a, b)
f(b) −f(a)
then, there exists some c ∈ (a, b) such that f ′(c) = b−a
Therefore, Mean Value Theorem is not applicable to those functions that do not satisfy any of the
two conditions of the hypothesis.
(i) f(x) = [x] for x ∈ [5, 9]
It is evident that the given function f(x) is not continuous at every integral point.
In particular, f(x) is not continuous at x = 5 and x = 9
⇒ f(x) is not continuous in [5, 9].
The left hand limit of f at x = n is
f(n+h) −f(n) [n+h] − [n] n−1−n −1
lim h → 0 h
= lim h → 0 h
= lim k → 0 h
= lim h → ∞ h =

The right hand limit of f at x = n is,

Page 90

since the left and right hand limits of f at x = n are not equal, f is not differentiable at x
=n
if is not differentiable in (5, 9) .
It is observed that f does not satisfy all the conditions of the hypothesis of Mean value
Theorem.
Hence, Mean Value Theorem is not applicable for f(x) = [x] for x ∈ [5, 9]
(ii) f(x) = [x] for x ∈ [ − 2, 2]
It is evident that the given function f(x) is not continuous at every integral point.
In particular, f(x) is not continuous at x = − 2 and x = 2
⇒ f(x) is not continuous in [ − 2, 2] .
The differentiability of f in ( − 2, 2) is checked as follows.
Let n be an integer such that n ∈ ( − 2, 2) .
The left hand limit of f at x = n is,
f(n+h) −f(n) [n+h] − [n] n−1−n −1
lim h → 0 h
= lim h → 0 h
= lim h → 0 h
= lim h → 0 h = ∞
The right hand limit of f at x = n is,
f(n+h) −f(n) [n+h] − [n] n−n
lim h → 0 h
= lim h → 0 h
= lim b → ∞ h = lim h → 00 = 0
It is observed that f does not satisfy all the conditions of the hypothesis of Mean Value Theorem
f(x) = x 2 − 1 for x ∈ [1, 2]
It is evident that f , being a polynomial function, is continuous in [1, 2] and is
differentiable in (1, 2) .
It is observed that f satisfies all the conditions of the hypothesis of Mean Value Theorem.
Hence, Mean value Theorem is applicable for f(x) = x 2 − 1 for x ∈ [1, 2]
It can be proved as follows.
f(1) = 1 2 − 1 = 0, f(2) = 2 2 − 1 = 3
f(b) −f(a) f(2) −f(1) 3−0
∴ b−a

∴ f ′(x) = 2x
∴ f ′(c) = 3

Therefore, when x ≥ 0, f(x) = | x | 3 = x 3
In this case, f ′(x) = 3x 2 and hence, f ′(x) = 6x
When x < 0, f(x) = | x | 3 = ( − x) 3 = − x 3
