    Given \[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{align}   & \sqrt{10-{{x}^{2}}},if-3<x<3 \\  & 2-{{e}^{x-3}},ifx\ge 3 \\ \end{align} \right.\] The graph of f(x) is

    A)  continuous and differentiable at x = 3

    B)  continuous but not differentiable at x = 3

    C)  differentiable but not continuous at x = 3

    D)  neither differentiable nor continuous at x

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[f'({{3}^{+}})=\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(3+h)-f(3)}{h}\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{(2-{{e}^{h}})-1}{h}=-\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\left( \frac{{{e}^{h}}-1}{h} \right)=-1\] \[f'({{3}^{-}})=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f(3-h)-f(3)}{-h}\] \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sqrt{10-{{(3-h)}^{2}}}-1}{-h}=-\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{\sqrt{1+(6h-{{h}^{2}})}-1}{-h}\]\[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{6h-{{h}^{2}}}{-h(\sqrt{1+6h-{{h}^{2}}}+)}\]\[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{h(h-6)}{h(\sqrt{1+6h-{{h}^{2}}}+)}=\frac{-6}{2}=-3\] Hence, \[f'({{3}^{+}})\ne f({{3}^{-}})\]
