The point('s) at which the function ff given by f(x)={∣x∣2x,x<0−12,x≥0f(x) = \begin{cases} \dfrac{|x|}{2x}, & x<0 \\ -\dfrac{1}{2}, & x\geq0 \end{cases} is continuous is (are)

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

For x<0x<0 we have ∣x∣=−x|x|=-x, so ∣x∣2x=−12\frac{|x|}{2x}=-\frac{1}{2}. Combined with the second branch, f(x)=−12f(x)=-\frac{1}{2} for every real xx. A constant function is continuous everywhere, so f is continuous on all of R\mathbb{R}.
