(2019 Main, 9 Jan I)

(a) exists and equals $\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{2}}$

(b) does not exist

(c) exists and equals $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}$

(d) exists and equals $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2}+1)}$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 7. (a)

Solution:

  1. $f(x)=\frac{1-x(1+|1-x|)}{|1-x|} \cos \frac{1}{1-x}$

Now, $\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}} \frac{1-x(1+1-x)}{1-x} \cos \frac{1}{1-x}$

$$ =\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{-}}(1-x) \cos \frac{1}{1-x}=0 $$

and $\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}} \frac{1-x(1-1+x)}{x-1} \cos \frac{1}{1-x}$

$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 1^{+}}-(x+1) \cdot \cos \frac{1}{x+1}$, which does not exist.
