Chapter 5 Case Studies

The document discusses continuity and differentiability of functions. It defines a continuous function at a point c as one where the function value at c equals the limit of the function as x approaches c. It also defines a differentiable function as one where the left and right hand derivatives at a point c are equal. The document then provides several questions related to determining continuity and differentiability of various functions at given points based on these definitions. It examines functions for points of discontinuity, differentiability over intervals, and derivatives of trigonometric, absolute value and other functions.

      Case Study Based Questions [Based On Latest Pattern]                      


                                
 Q.1
A function is continuous at x=c if the function is defined at x=c and if the value of the function at x=c equals the limit of the function at x=c. 

                                     i.e,     lim f(x)=f(c)


x→c

If f is not continuous at c, we say f is discontinuous at c, and c is called a point of discontinuity of f.

Based on the above information answer the following questions:

   (a) 4                        (b) 5                       (c) 6                       (d) 8
(ii) Suppose f and g be two real functions continuous at a real number c then:

(a) f+g is continuous at x=c


(b) f+g is discontinuous at x=c
(c) f+g may or may not continuous at x=c
(d) None of these

h→0 h
