JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Functions Question Bank Continuity

  • question_answer
    The function defined by \[f(x)\,=\,\left\{ \begin{matrix}    {{\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{e}^{\frac{1}{2-x}}} \right)}^{-1}} & , & x\ne 2  \\    k & , & x=2  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\], is continuous from right at the point x = 2, then k is equal to [Orissa JEE 2002]

    A)            0

    B)            1/4

    C)            ?1/4

    D)            None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[f(x)={{\left[ {{x}^{2}}+{{e}^{\frac{1}{2-x}}} \right]}^{-1}}\] and \[f(2)=k\]            If \[f(x)\] is continuous from right at \[x=2\] then \[\underset{x\to {{2}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=f(2)=k\]            Þ \[\underset{x\to {{2}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,{{\left[ {{x}^{2}}+{{e}^{\frac{1}{2-x}}} \right]}^{-1}}=k\]Þ \[k=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(2+h)\]            Þ \[k=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,{{\left[ {{(2+h)}^{2}}+{{e}^{\frac{1}{2-(2+h)}}} \right]}^{\,-1}}\]            Þ \[k=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,{{\left[ \,4+{{h}^{2}}+4h+{{e}^{-1/h}}\, \right]}^{\,-1}}\]            Þ \[k={{[4+0+0+{{e}^{-\infty }}]}^{\,-1}}\]Þ \[k=\frac{1}{4}\].
