If $f(x)=p|\sin x|+qe^{|x|}+r|x|^3$ and if $f(x)$ is differentiable at x = 0, then
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
For $-\frac{π}{2}<x≤0,\,f(x)=-p\sin x+qe^{-x}-rx^3$
So, $f'(0-)=\underset{x→0^-}{\lim}\frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x-0}=\underset{x→0^-}{\lim}\left[-\frac{p\sin x}{x}-q\left(\frac{e^{-x}-1}{-x}\right)-rx^2\right]$
$=-p-q$
For $0<x≤\frac{π}{2},\,f(x)=p\sin x+qe^{x}+rx^3$
$f'(0+)=\underset{x→0^+}{\lim}\frac{f(x)-f(0)}{x-0}=\underset{x→0^+}{\lim}\left[\frac{p\sin x}{x}+q\left(\frac{e^{x}-1}{x}\right)+rx^2\right]$
$=p+q$
For f to be differentiable at x = 0, we have
$p + q = −p − q ⇒ p + q = 0$
