Limits Continuity And Differentiability Question 27

Question: The number of points at which the function $ f(x)=\frac{1}{{\log _{e}}| x |} $ is discontinuous, is

Options:

A) 1

B) 2

C) 3

D) 4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

The function $ \log | x | $ is not defined at $ x=0 $ . So, $ x=0 $ is a point of discontinuity .

Also, for $ f(x) $ to be defined; $ \log | x |\ne 0\Rightarrow x\ne \pm 1 $ .

Hence, $ 0,1,-1 $ are three points of discontinuity.
