Let denote the greatest integer function. Then match List-I with List-II:
List-I List-II (A) (I) is differentiable everywhere except at (B) (II) is continuous everywhere (C) (III) is not differentiable at (D) (IV) is differentiable at
Let denote the greatest integer function. Then match List-I with List-II:
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| (A) | (I) is differentiable everywhere except at |
| (B) | (II) is continuous everywhere |
| (C) | (III) is not differentiable at |
| (D) | (IV) is differentiable at |
Solution
The function is the sum of two continuous absolute value functions. While it has corners at and where it is not differentiable, it remains continuous for all real values of .
(A) matches with (II).
can be expressed as:
for
for
The right-hand derivative at is , and the left-hand derivative is . Because these values differ, the function is differentiable everywhere except at .
(B) matches with (I).
The function represents the fractional part of . The greatest integer function has jump discontinuities at every integer. At :
Since the function is discontinuous at , it is not differentiable at .
(C) matches with (III).
The function is defined as:
for
for
For , the derivative is . At :
The function is differentiable at .
(D) matches with (IV).
The resulting matches are (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV).
