Provide Solution For R.D.Sharma Maths Class 12 Chapter 9 Differentiability Exercise 9.1 Question 1 Maths Textbook Solution.
Answer: f(x) is continuous but not differentiable at x = 3.
Hint: The function y = f(x) is said to be differentiable in the closed interval [a, b] if R f ` (a) and L f ` (b) exist and f `(x) exist for every point of (a, b).
If the left hand limit, right hand limit and the value of the function at x = 3 exist and are equal to each other, then f is said to be continuous at x = 3.
Given:
Solution:
Therefore, we can write given function as,
But
Now Consider,
Since f(x) is continuous at x = 3, we have to find its differentiability using the formula,
Left Hand Derivate (LHD) =, denoted by L f `(c)
Right Hand Derivate (RHD =, denoted by R f `(c)
LHD at x = 3 RHD at x = 3
Hence, f(x) is continuous but not differentiable at x = 3.
