Solutions
Concept:
A function f(x) is continuous at x = a if,
Left limit = Right limit = Function value = Real and finite
A function is said to be differentiable at x =a if,
Left derivative = Right derivative = Well defined
Calculation:
Given:
f(x) = |x|
|x| = x for x ≥ 0
|x|= -x for x < 0
At x = 0
Left limit = 0, Right limit = 0, F(0) = 0
As
Left limit = Right limit = Function value = 0
∴ |X| is continuous at x = 0.
Now
Left derivative (at x = 0) = -1
Right derivative (at x = 0) = 1
Left derivative ≠ Right derivative
∴ |x| is not differentiable at x = 0
