Functions Question 550

Question: The function $ f(x)=|x|+\frac{|x|}{x} $ is

[Karnataka CET 2003]

Options:

A) Continuous at the origin

B) Discontinuous at the origin because |x| is discontinuous there

C) Discontinuous at the origin because $ \frac{|x|}{x} $ is discontinuous there

D) Discontinuous at the origin because both |x| and $ \frac{|x|}{x} $ are discontinuous there

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ |x| $ is continuous at $ x=0 $ and $ \frac{|x|}{x} $ is also discontinuous at $ x=0 $ \ $ f(x)=,|x|+\frac{|x|}{x} $ is discontinuous at $ x=0 $ .
