Limits Continuity And Differentiability Question 93

Question: Which one of the following functions is differentiable for all real values of x?

Options:

A) $ \frac{x}{| x |} $

B) $ x| x | $

C) $ \frac{1}{| x |} $

D) $ \frac{1}{x} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Since $ \frac{x}{| x |} $ is not continuous function
$ \therefore $ it is not differentiable also. Also, L.H.D. and R.H.D. at $ x=0 $ not equal.

Thus, only function given in option ?b? gives differentiability for all real values of x.
