Differentiation Question 269

Question: If $ f(x)=(x-x_0)g(x) $ , where $ g(x) $ is continuous at $ x_0 $ , then $ f’(x_0) $ is equal to

Options:

A) 0

B) $ x_0 $

C) $ g(x_0) $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ f’(x_0)=\underset{x\to x_0}{\mathop{\lim }}\frac{(x-x_0)g(x)-0}{x-x_0}=\underset{x\to x_0}{\mathop{\lim }}g(x)=g(x_0) $

Since g is continuous.
