1. 1
Discuss the continuity of the function f(x) = for x ∈ R.

Ans :
f ( x) = , as f(5) is not defined, therefore function is not continuous at x = 5.

2. 1
Discuss the continuity of the function f(x) = , x ≠ 5, for x ∈ R.

Ans :
f ( x) = , x ≠ 5. As x ≠ 5, therefore, value of function exists for all x(≠ 5) ∈ R.

Also f(x) = f(a) = a + 5, (a ≠ 5). Hence, continuous.

3. Check whether the function f(x) = 2x2 + 1 is continuous at x = 0. 1

Ans :f(x) = 2x2 + 1, As f(x) = f(0) = 1. Hence, continuous

4. Give an example of a function which is continuous at x = 1, but not differentiable at x = 1. 1

Ans : Absolute value function f(x) = |x – 1| is continuous at x = 1 but not differentiable at x = 1.

5. 1

Show that the function f given by f(x) = is not continuous at x = 0.

Ans :

6. 1
Examine the continuity of the function f(x) = , x ∈ R.

Ans : For x = –3 function is not defined. Hence, not continuous for x ∈ R.

Ans : f(x) = [x] is not continuous for integers. Hence, not continuous at x = ± 2, ± 1, 0.

8. 1
Find the point of discontinuity if any for the function f(x) = .

Ans : Function is not defined for x = 5. Hence, discontinuous at x = 5.

Ans :

18. 4

The function f(x) = is continuous at x = 1, find the values of a and b.

Ans : For function to be continuous at x = 1, we have

From (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we get

5a – 2b = 3a + b = 11

5a – 2b = 11 ...(v)

and 3a + b = 11 ...(vi)

On solving (v) and (vi), we get

a = 3 and b = 2

for a = 3 and b = 2 function is continuous at x = 1.

19. 4

For what value of k is the function f (x) = is continuous at x = 0?

f(0) = 4k

If function is continuous, then 1 = 4 k

k= .

20. Find the values of a and b such that the function f defined by 4

Ans :

21. 4

If f(x) = and function is continuous at x = 0, find the value of a.

22. Determine the constants a and b, such that the function 4

f ( x) = is continuous.

Ans : If continuous, function should be continuous at x = 2, as for x > 2 and x < 2 function is a
polynomial function, which is always continuous.

f(2 – h) = f(2 + h) = f(2)

{2a(2 – h) – b} = {a(2 + h)2 + b} = 2
