Consider the function f ( x ) = x 3 4 - sin π x + 3

f ( x ) takes on the value 3 1 4 in the interval [ - 2 , 2 ]

f ( x ) does not attain value within the interval [ - 2 , 2 ]

f ( x ) takes no value p , 1 < p < 5 in the interval [ - 2 , 2 ]

Discuss the continuity of the function f x = log ⁡ ( 2 + x ) − log ⁡ ( 2 − x ) tan ⁡ x , for x ≠ 0 1 , for x = 0 at the point x = 0 .

We have, f x = log ⁡ ( 2 + x ) − log ⁡ ( 2 − x ) tan ⁡ x , for x ≠ 0 1 , for x = 0 i.e. f 0 = 1 . . . 1 Also, L = lim x → 0 f ( x ) = lim x → 0 f ( x ) = lim x → 0 log ⁡ ( 2 + x ) − log ⁡ ( 2 − x ) tan ⁡ x = lim x → 0 log ⁡ 2 + x 2 − x tan ⁡ x ∵ log ⁡ m − log ⁡ n = log ⁡ m n = lim x → 0 log ⁡ 1 + x 2 1 − x 2 tan ⁡ x = lim x → 0 log ⁡ 1 + x 2 1 − x 2 x × lim x → 0 x tan ⁡ x = lim x → 0 log ⁡ 1 + x 2 x − lim x → 0 log ⁡ 1 − x 2 x × lim x → 0 x tan ⁡ x = 1 2 − − 1 2 × 1 ∵ lim x → 0 log 1 + x x = 1 , lim x → 0 tan x x = 1 = 1 . . . 2 From 1 and 2 , we have lim x → 0 f ( x ) = f ( 0 ) Thus, the given function is continuous at x = 0 .

If f ( x ) = 1 − 3 tan ⁡ x π − 6 x , for x ≠ π 6 is continuous at x = π 6 , find f π 6 .

It is given that f ( x ) = 1 − 3 tan ⁡ x π − 6 x is continuous at x = π 6 . i.e. lim x → π 6 f ( x ) = lim x → π 6 1 − 3 tan ⁡ x π − 6 x ⇒ lim x → π 6 f ( x ) = 1 − 3 tan ⁡ π 6 π − 6 π 6 ⇒ lim x → π 6 f ( x ) = 1 − 1 π − π = 0 0 form So, we will apply L'Hospital's rule because we are getting indeterminate form. ⇒ lim x → π 6 f ( x ) = lim x → π 6 0 − 3 · sec 2 x - 6 ⇒ lim x → π 6 f ( x ) = lim x → π 6 3 · sec 2 x 6 ⇒ lim x → π 6 f ( x ) = 3 · sec 2 π 6 6 ⇒ lim x → π 6 f ( x ) = 3 6 · 2 3 2 Thus, f π 6 = 2 3 3
