4, x > 0

f (x) = 2 sgn(2x) + 2 = 2, x = 0

is differentiable x = 1, then
x + ax + b, x > 1
(A) a = 1, b = 1
(B) a = 1, b = 0
(C) a = 2, b = 0
Ans (C)
ax 2 + 1,
x 1
f (x) = 2
is differentiable at x = 1
x + ax + b, x > 1

(D) a = 2, b = 1

Then f(x) is continuous at x = 1

f(1) = f(1+) a + 1 = 1 + a + b b = 0
2ax, x < 1
Also f '(x) =
2x + a, x > 1
We must have f(1) = f (1+) 2a = 2 + a a = 2

(D) f(x) = 3(x 2)1/3 + 3 in R

Ans (D)
f (x) = (e x 1) e 2x 1 = (e x 1) e x 1 e x + 1 = (e x + 1)(e x 1) e x 1
Now, both ex + 1 and (ex 1) | ex 1 | are differentiable [as g(x) | g(x) is differentiable when g(x) = 0]
Hence, f(x) is differentiable.
x 1
f (x) = 2

(B) continuous at x = 1 but not at x = 1
(C) continuous at x = 1 but not at x = 1
(D) discontinuous at x = 1 and x = 1
Ans (D)

(B) Continuous [1, 1] and differentiable on (1, 0) (0, 1)
(C) Continuous and differentiable on [1, 1]
(D) None of these

We have f (x) = 1 1 x 2
The domain of definition of f(x) is [1, 1]
For x 0, x 1, we have

Since f(x) is not defined on the right side of x = 1 and on the left side of x = 1
Also, f(x) when x 1+ or x 1,

38. A function y = f(x) has a second-order derivative f(x) = 6(x 1). If its graph passes through the point
(2, 1) and at that point tangent to the graph is y = 3x 5, then the value of f(0) is
(A) 1
(B) 1
(C) 2
(D) 0
Ans (B)
We have f(x) = 6(x 1)
(1)
Integrating, we get f(x) = 3(x 1)2 + c
At (2, 1), y = 3x 5 is tangent to y = f(x)
f(2) = 3
From equation (1), 3 = 3(2 1)2 + c 3 = 3 + c c = 0
f(x) = 3(x 1)2
Integrating, we get f(x) = (x 1)3 + c
Since the curve passes through (2, 1)
1 = (2 1)3 + c c = 0
f(x) = (x 1)2 f(0) = 1
