Explain solution RD Sharma class 12 chapter Continuity exercise 8.2 question 3 subquestion (vi) maths

Answers (1)

Answer:

  x = 0

Hint:

 Use L-Hospital Rule when we find 0/0 form

Given:

 f(x)= \begin{cases}\frac{x^{4}+x^{3}+2 x^{2}}{\tan ^{-1} x} & x \neq 0 \\ 10 & x=0\end{cases}

Explanation:

at x = 0

\begin{aligned} &\text { L.H.L }=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}(0-h)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(-h)^{4}+(-h)^{3}+2(-h)^{2}}{\tan ^{-1}(-h)} \\ &=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{h^{4}-h^{3}+2 h^{2}}{\tan ^{-1}(h)}=0 \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\text { R.H.L }=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}(0+h)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{h^{4}+h^{3}+2 h^{2}}{\tan ^{-1}(h)}=0 \\ &\text { Also } f(0)=10 \\ &\text { Thus L.H.L } =\text { R.H.L } \neq f(0) \end{aligned}

Hence, f(x) is discontinuous at x = 0.
