Show that f(x) = |x – 5| is continuous but not differentiable at x = 5.
Given,
f(x) = |x - 5| …(1)
We need to prove that f(x) is continuous but not differentiable at x = 5
A function f(x) is said to be continuous at x = c if,
Left hand limit(LHL at x = c) = Right hand limit(RHL at x = c) = f(c).
Mathematically we can represent it as-
Where h is a very small number very close to 0 (h→0)
And a function is said to be differentiable at x = c if it is continuous there and
Left hand derivative(LHD at x = c) = Right hand derivative(RHD at x = c) = f(c).
Mathematically we can represent it as-
Finally we can state that for a function to be differentiable at x = c
Checking for the continuity:
Now according to above theory-
f(x) is continuous at x = 5 if -
∴ LHL =
⇒ LHL = {using equation 1}
⇒ LHL =
∴ LHL = |-0| = 0
∴ LHL = 0 …(2)
Similarly,
RHL =
⇒ RHL = {using equation 1}
⇒ RHL =
∴ RHL = |0| = 0 …(3)
And, f(5) = |5-5| = 0 {using equation 1} …(4)
From equation 2,3 and 4 we observe that:
∴ f(x) is continuous at x = 5. So we will proceed now to check the differentiability.
Checking for the differentiability:
Now according to above theory-
f(x) is differentiable at x = 2 if -
∴ LHD =
⇒ LHD = {using equation 1}
As h > 0 as defined in theory above.
∴ |-h| = h
⇒ LHD =
∴ LHD = -1 …(5)
Now,
RHD =
⇒ RHD = {using equation 1}
As h > 0 as defined in theory above.
∴ |h| = h
⇒ RHD =
∴ RHD = 1 …(6)
Clearly from equation 5 and 6,we can conclude that-
(LHD at x=5) ≠ (RHD at x = 5)
∴ f(x) is not differentiable at x = 5 but continuous at x = 5.
Hence proved.
A function satisfies the equation f(x + y) = f(x) f(y) for all x, y . Suppose that the function is differentiable at x = 0 and f’(0) = 2. Prove that f’(x) = 2f(x).
Given f(x) is differentiable at x = 0 and f(x) ≠ 0
And f(x + y) = f(x)f(y) also f’(0) = 2
To prove: f’(x) = 2f(x)
As we know that,
f’(x) =
as f(x+h) = f(x)f(h)
∴ f’(x) =
⇒ f’(x) = …(1)
As
f(x + y) = f(x)f(y)
put x = y = 0
∴ f(0+0) = f(0)f(0)
⇒ f(0) = {f(0)}2
∴ f(0) = 1 {∵ f(x) ≠ 0 ….given}
∴ equation 1 is deduced as-
f’(x) =
⇒ f’(x) =
⇒ f’(x) = f(x)f’(0) {using formula of derivative}
∴ f’(x) = 2 f(x) …proved {∵ it is given that f’(0) = 2}

Given: f(x) = x(x – 1)2
⇒ f(x) = x (x2 + 1 – 2x)
⇒ f(x) = x3 + x – 2x2 in [0,1]
Now, we have to show that f(x) verify the Rolle’s Theorem
First of all, Conditions of Rolle’s theorem are:
a) f(x) is continuous at (a,b)
b) f(x) is derivable at (a,b)
c) f(a) = f(b)
If all three conditions are satisfied then there exist some ‘c’ in (a,b) such that f’(c) = 0
Condition 1:
On expanding f(x) = x(x – 1)2, we get f(x) = x3 + x – 2x2
Since, f(x) is a polynomial and we know that, every polynomial function is continuous for all x ∈ R
⇒ f(x) = x3 + x – 2x2 is continuous at x ∈ [0,1]
Hence, condition 1 is satisfied.
Condition 2:
f(x) = x3 + x – 2x2
Since, f(x) is a polynomial and every polynomial function is differentiable for all x ∈ R
⇒ f(x) is differentiable at [0,1]
Hence, condition 2 is satisfied.
Condition 3:
f(x) = x3 + x – 2x2
f(0) = 0
f(1) = (1)3 + (1) – 2(1)2 = 1 + 1 – 2 = 0
Hence, f(0) = f(1)
Hence, condition 3 is also satisfied.

Condition 2:
f(x) = sin4x + cos4x
On differentiating above with respect to x, we get
f’(x) = 4 × sin3 (x) × cos x + 4 × cos3 x × (- sin x)
⇒ f’(x) = 4sin3 x cos x – 4 cos3 x sinx
⇒ f’(x) = 4sin x cos x [sin2x – cos2 x]
⇒ f’(x) = 2 sin2x [sin2x – cos2 x]
[∵ 2 sin x cos x = sin 2x]
⇒ f’(x) = 2 sin 2x [- cos 2x]
[∵ cos2 x – sin2 x = cos 2x]
⇒ f’(x) = - 2 sin 2x cos 2x
⇒ f(x) is differentiable at
Hence, condition 2 is satisfied.
Condition 3:
f(x) = sin4x + cos4x
f(0) = sin4(0) + cos4(0) = 1
Hence, condition 3 is also satisfied.
Now, let us show that c ∈ () such that f’(c) = 0
f(x) = sin4x + cos4x
⇒ f’(x) = - 2 sin 2x cos 2x
Put x = c in above equation, we get
⇒ f’(c) = - 2 sin 2c cos 2c
∵, all the three conditions of Rolle’s theorem are satisfied
f’(c) = 0
⇒ - 2 sin 2c cos 2c = 0
⇒ sin 2c cos 2c = 0
⇒ sin 2c = 0
⇒ 2c = 0
⇒ c = 0
Now, cos 2c = 0

Hence, condition 2 is satisfied.
Condition 3:

= 0
= 0
Hence, f(-3) = f(0)
Hence, condition 3 is also satisfied.
Now, let us show that c ∈ (0,1) such that f’(c) = 0
On differentiating above with respect to x, we get
Put x = c in above equation, we get
∵, all the three conditions of Rolle’s theorem are satisfied
f’(c) = 0
⇒ (c – 3)(c + 2) = 0
⇒ c – 3 = 0 or c + 2 = 0
⇒ c = 3 or c = -2
So, value of c = -2, 3
c = -2 ∈ (-3, 0) but c = 3 ∉ (-3, 0)
∴ c = -2
Thus, Rolle’s theorem is verified.

f(x) = x3 – 2x2 – x + 3
Since, f(x) is a polynomial and every polynomial function is differentiable for all x ∈ R
f’(x) = 3x2 – 4x – 1
⇒ f(x) is differentiable at [0,1]
Hence, condition 2 is satisfied.

Put x = c in above equation, we get
f’(c) = cos(c) – 2cos2c …(i)
By Mean Value Theorem,
