Continuity And Differentiability

Question
CBSEENMA12034543

Is the function defined by f(x) = | x |, a continuous function ?

Solution

f(x) = |x|.Df=R
Let a be any real number ∈  Df
Now space Lt with straight x rightwards arrow straight a below straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals Lt with straight x rightwards arrow straight a below open vertical bar straight x close vertical bar equals open vertical bar straight a close vertical bar
Also space straight f left parenthesis straight a right parenthesis equals open vertical bar straight a close vertical bar
therefore space Lt with straight x rightwards arrow straight a below straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals straight f left parenthesis straight a right parenthesis space rightwards double arrow space straight f space is space continous space at space straight x equals 0
But a is any real number ∈ Df
∴ f is continuous function
⇒ | x | is continuous at every point of domain.
