Continuity and Differentiability

Question:

Let f(x) = [tan2x], where [.] denotes the greatest integer function. Then

Options:

$\underset{h→0}{\lim}$ f(x) doesn’t exist

f(x) is continuous at x = 0

f(x) is not differentiable at x = 0

f'(0) = 1

Correct Answer:

f(x) is continuous at x = 0

Explanation:

$\underset{h→0}{\lim}[tan^2(0+h)]=\underset{h→0}{\lim}[tan^2(0-h)]=[tan^20]=0$

⇒ f(x) is continuous at x = 0.

Since f(x) = 0 in the neighbourhood of 0, f'(0) = 0.

Hence (B) is the correct answer.
