    Which of the following function is continuous at for all value of x?         
    (i) \[f\left( x \right)\] =sgn\[({{x}^{3}}-x)\]
    (ii)  \[f\left( x \right)\] =sgn \[(2\cos x-1)\]
    (iii) \[f\left( x \right)\] =sgn \[({{x}^{2}}-2x+3)\]
     

    A) Only (i)

    B) Only (iii)

    C) Both (ii) and (iii)

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] (i) \[f(x)=\sgn ({{x}^{3}}-x)\] Here \[{{x}^{3}}-x=0\Rightarrow x=0,-1,1\] Hence, \[f(x)\] is discontinuous at \[x=0,-1,1\]. (ii) If \[(x)=\sgn (2\,\,\cos \,x-1)\] Here, \[2\cos \,\,x-1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \cos \,\,x=1/2\Rightarrow x=2n\pi +(\pi /3)\] \[n\in Z,\] where \[f(x)\] is discontinuous. (iii) \[f(x)=\sgn ({{x}^{2}}-2x+3)\] Here, \[{{x}^{2}}-2x+3>0\] for all x. Thus, \[f(x)=1\] for all x Hence continuous for all x.
