Functions Question 1

Question: If $ f(x)=|x-2| $ , then

[Roorkee 1984]

Options:

A) $ \underset{x\to 2+}{\mathop{\lim }},f(x)\ne 0 $

B) $ \underset{x\to 2-}{\mathop{\lim }},f(x)\ne 0 $

C) $ \underset{x\to 2+}{\mathop{\lim }},f(x)\ne \underset{x\to 2-}{\mathop{\lim }},f(x) $

D) $ f(x) $ is continuous at $ x=2 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Here $ f(2)=0 $ $ \underset{x\to 2-}{\mathop{\lim }},f(x)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}f(2-h)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }},|2-h-2|=0 $ $ \underset{x\to 2-}{\mathop{\lim }},f(x)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}f(2-h)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }},|2-h-2|=0 $ Hence it is continuous at $ x=2 $ .
