For the function f(x)=xf(x) = \sqrt{x}, which of the following statements are true?

(A) f(x)f(x) is continuous for x≥0x \geq 0.

(B) f(x)f(x) is continuous for x∈Rx \in R (Set of real numbers).

(C) f(x)f(x) is differentiable for x>0x > 0.

(D) f(x)f(x) is differentiable for x∈Rx \in R (Set of real numbers).

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The domain of x\sqrt{x} is x≥0x\geq 0, so it cannot be continuous on all of RR; it is continuous on [0,∞)[0,\infty).

f′(x)=12xf'(x) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} exists only for x>0x>0 (the derivative is unbounded at x=0x=0). Hence (A) and (C).
