Thus, h(x) = cosx is continuous function.
We know that for real valued functions g and h, such that (goh) is defined at k, if g is continuous at k and if f is continuous at g(k),
Then (fog) is continuous at k.
Therefore, f(x) = (gof)(x) = g(h(x)) = g(sinx) = |sinx| is a continuous function.
Find all the points of discontinuity of f defined by f (x) = | x| – | x + 1|.
It is given that f(x) = |x| - |x + 1|
The given function f is defined for real number and f can be written as the composition of two functions, as
f = goh, where g(x) = |x| and h(x) = |x + 1|
Then, f = g - h
First we have to prove that g(x) = |x| and h(x) = |x + 1| are continuous functions.
g(x) = |x| can be written as
Now, g is defined for all real number.
Let k be a real number.
Case I: If k < 0,
Then g(k) = -k
And
Thus,
Therefore, g is continuous at all points x, i.e., x > 0
Case II: If k > 0,
Then g(k) = k and
Thus,
Therefore, g is continuous at all points x, i.e., x < 0.
Case III: If k = 0,
Then, g(k) = g(0) = 0
Therefore, g is continuous at x = 0
From the above 3 cases, we get that g is continuous at all points.
g(x) = |x + 1| can be written as
Now, h is defined for all real number.
Let k be a real number.
Case I: If k < -1,
Then h(k) = -(k + 1)
And
Thus,
Therefore, h is continuous at all points x, i.e., x < -1
Case II: If k > -1,
Then h(k) = k + 1 and
Thus,
Therefore, h is continuous at all points x, i.e., x > -1.
Case III: If k = -1,
Then, h(k) = h(-1) = -1 + 1 = 0
Therefore, g is continuous at x = -1
From the above 3 cases, we get that h is continuous at all points.
Hence, g and h are continuous function.
Therefore, f = g – h is also a continuous function.

Verify Rolle’s theorem for the function f (x) = x2 + 2x – 8, x ∈ [– 4, 2].
The given function is f (x) = x2 + 2x – 8 and x ∈ [-4, 2].
By Rolle’s Theorem, for a function f : [a, b] → R, if
(a) f is continuous on [a, b]
(b) f is differentiable on (a, b)
(c) f(a) = f(b)
Then there exists some c in (a, b) such that f '(c) = 0.
As f(x) = x2 + 2x – 8 is a polynomial function,
(a) f(x) is continuous in [-4, 2]
(b) f'(x) = 2x + 2
So, f(x) is differentiable in (-4, 2).
(c) f(a) = f(-4) = (-4)2 + 2(-4) – 8 = 16 – 8 – 8 =16 – 16 = 0
f(b) = f(2) = (2)2 + 2(2) – 8 = 4 + 4 – 8 = 8 – 8 = 0
Hence, f(a) = f(b).
∴ There is a point c ∈ (-4, 2) where f'(c) = 0.
f(x) = x2 +2x – 8
f'(x) = 2x + 2
f'(c) = 0
⇒ f'(c) = 2c + 2 = 0
⇒2c = -2
⇒ c = -2 /2
⇒ c = -1 where c = -1 ∈ (-4, 2)
Hence, Rolle’s Theorem is verified.

To prove : P(n) : = nxn – 1 for all positive integers n
For n = 1,
LHS = = 1
RHS = 1 × x1 – 1 = 1
So, LHS = RHS
∴ P(1) is true.

Does there exist a function which is continuous everywhere but not differentiable at exactly two points? Justify your answer.
Considering the function
f(x) = |x| + |x + 1|
The above function f is continuous everywhere, but is not differentiable at x = 0 and x = – 1
Now, checking continuity
CASE I: At x < – 1
f(x) = – 2x – 1
f(x) is a polynomial
⇒ f(x) is continuous [∵ Every polynomial function is continuous]
CASE II: x > 0
f(x) = 2x + 1
f(x) is a polynomial
⇒ f(x) is continuous [∵ Every polynomial function is continuous]
CASE III: At – 1 < x < 0
f(x) = 1
f(x) is constant
⇒ f(x) is continuous
CASE IV: At x = – 1
A function will be continuous at x = – 1
If LHL = RHL = f( – 1)
i.e.
LHL =
Putting x = – 1
LHL = – 2 × ( – 1) – 1 = 2 – 1 = 1
RHL =
f(x) = – 2x – 1
f( – 1) = – 2 × ( – 1) – 1 = 2 – 1 = 1
so, LHL = RHL = f( – 1)
⇒ f is continuous.
CASE V: At x = 0
A function will be continuous at x = 0
If LHL = RHL = f(0)
i.e.
LHL = = 1
RHL =
Putting x = 0
RHL = 2 × 0 + 1 = 1
f(x) = 2x + 1
f(0) = 2 × 0 + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1
so, LHL = RHL = f(0)
⇒ f is continuous.
Thus f(x) = |x| + |x + 1| is continuous for all values of x.
Checking differentiability
CASE I: At x < – 1
f(x) = – 2x – 1
f’(x) = – 2
f(x) is polynomial.
⇒ f(x) is differentiable
CASE II: At x > 0
f(x) = 2x + 1
f’(x) = 2
f(x) is polynomial.
⇒ f(x) is differentiable
CASE III: At – 1 < x < 0
f(x) = 1
f(x) is constant.
⇒ f(x) is differentiable
CASE IV: At x = – 1
f is differentiable at x = – 1 if
LHD = RHD = f’( – 1)
i.e.
LHD =
LHD =
RHD =
Since, LHD ≠ RHD
∴ f is not differentiable at x = – 1
CASE V: At x = 0
f is differentiable at x = 0 if
LHD = RHD = f’(0)
i.e.
LHD =
RHD =
Since, LHD ≠ RHD
∴ f is not differentiable at x = 0
So, f is not differentiable at exactly two point x = 0 and x = 1, but continuous at all points.
