Continuity And Differentiability

Question
CBSEENMA12034551

Examine the following functions for continuity :

f(x) = | x – 5 |

Solution

Here f(x) = | x – 5 |
Function f is defined for all real numbers.
Let c be any real number.
therefore space straight f left parenthesis straight c right parenthesis equals open vertical bar straight c minus 5 close vertical bar
Also space Lt with straight x rightwards arrow straight c below straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals Lt with straight x rightwards arrow straight c below open vertical bar straight x minus 5 close vertical bar equals open vertical bar straight c minus 5 close vertical bar
therefore space Lt with straight x rightwards arrow straight c below straight f left parenthesis straight x right parenthesis equals straight f left parenthesis straight c right parenthesis
∴ f is continuous at.x = c.
But c is any real number
∴ f is continuous at every real number.
