Discuss the continuity of the following functions at the indicated point(s).

at x = 0

In this problem we need to check continuity at x = 0

Given function is


at x = 0 …… Equation 2


we need to check LHL, RHL and value of function at x = 0 (for idea and meaning of continuity refer to Q10(i) )


Clearly,


f(0) = 0 [from equation 2]


LHL = [ sin(–θ) = sinθ]


RHL = [ using eqn 2]


Why


Since whatever is value of h, sin(1/h) is going to range from –1 to 1


As h 0 i.e. h is approximately 0


0*some finite quantity is equal to 0.


Clearly, LHL = RHL = f(0)


f(x) is continuous at x = 0
