Question

Examine whether the function is continuous at the points indicated against them :

f(x) `{:(= x/(tan3x) + 2",",   "for"  x < 0),(= 7/3",",  "for"  x ≥ 0):}}  "at"  x = 0`

Solution

`lim_(x -> 0^+) "f"(x) = 7/3`    ...(given)

`lim_(x -> 0^-) "f"(x) = lim_(x -> 0^-) (x/(tan3x) + 2)`

= `lim_(x -> 0^-) x/(tan 3x) + lim_(x -> 0^-) 2`

= `lim_(x -> 0^-) 1/((tan3x)/x) + lim_(x -> 0^-) 2`

= `lim_(x -> 0^-) (1/((tan3x)/(3x) xx 3)) + lim_(x -> 0^-) 2`

= `(lim_(x -> 0^-) 1)/(3 lim_(x -> 0^-) ((tan 3x)/(3x))) + lim_(x -> 0^-) 2`

= `1/(3(1)) + 2`

= `7/3`

∴ `lim_(x -> 0^+) "f"(x) = lim_(x -> 0^-) "f"(x)`

∴ f(x) is continuous at x = 0.
