    If \[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    \frac{\sin \,5x}{{{x}^{2}}+2x}, & x\ne 0  \\    k+\frac{1}{2}, & x=0  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\] is continuous at\[x=0\], then the value of k is :

    A)  1                                            

    B)  -2

    C)  2                                            

    D)  ½

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix}    \frac{\sin 5x}{{{x}^{2}}+2x}\,\,\,, & x\ne 0  \\    k+\frac{1}{2}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,, & x=0  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\] \[L.H.L.\,f({{0}^{-}})=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,f(0-h)\]                 \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\frac{\sin \,\,5\,\,(0-h)}{(0-{{h}^{2}})+2\,(0-h)}\]                 \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\frac{\sin \,(-5h)}{{{h}^{2}}-2h}\]                 \[=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\frac{\frac{\sin \,5h}{5h}}{\frac{1}{5}(h-2)}=-\frac{1}{\frac{1}{5}(-2)}\]                 \[=\frac{5}{2}\] Since it is continuous at \[x=0\] \[\therefore \,\,L.H.L=f(0)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{5}{2}=k+\frac{1}{2}\]
