Let a function $y=f(x)$ be defined as $x=2 t-|t|, y=t^2+t|t|$, where $t \in R$. Then, $f(x)$ is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
As $t \in R$. So, the following cases arise:
CASE I: When $t \geq 0$
In this case, we have
$x =2 t-t=t$ and $y=t^2+t^2=2 t^2$
$\Rightarrow y =2 x^2, x \geq 0$
CASE II: When $t<0$
In this case, we have
$x =2 t+t=3 t$ and $y=t^2-t^2=0$
$\Rightarrow y =0$ for all $x<0$
Thus, we have
$y=f(x)=\left\{\begin{aligned} 2 x^2, & x \geq 0 \\ 0, & x<0 \end{aligned}\right.$
Clearly, f(x) is everywhere continuous and differentiable.
Hence, f(x) is continuous and differentiable on $[-1,1]$.
