Let f1:R→Rf_1: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, f2:(−π2,π2)→Rf_2: \left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right) \to \mathbb{R}, f3:(−1,eπ/2−2)→Rf_3: \left(-1, e^{\pi/2} - 2\right) \to \mathbb{R} and f4:R→Rf_4: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} be functions defined by

(i) f1(x)=sin⁡(1−e−x2)f_1(x) = \sin\left(\sqrt{1 - e^{-x^2}}\right),

(ii) f2(x)={∣sin⁡x∣tan⁡−1xif x≠01if x=0f_2(x) = \begin{cases} \dfrac{|\sin x|}{\tan^{-1} x} & \text{if } x \ne 0 \\ 1 & \text{if } x = 0 \end{cases}, where the inverse trigonometric function tan⁡−1x\tan^{-1} x assumes values in (−π2,π2)\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right),

(iii) f3(x)=[sin⁡(log⁡e(x+2))]f_3(x) = [\sin(\log_e(x + 2))], where, for t∈Rt \in \mathbb{R}, [t][t] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to tt,

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: D

  • f1f_1. Near 0, 1−e−x2≈x21-e^{-x^2}\approx x^2, so f1(x)≈sin⁡∣x∣≈∣x∣f_1(x)\approx\sin|x|\approx|x|. It is continuous, but the one-sided derivatives are ±1\pm1, so it is not differentiable: 2.
  • f2f_2. As x→0+x\to0^+, sin⁡xtan⁡−1x→1\dfrac{\sin x}{\tan^{-1}x}\to1. As x→0−x\to0^-, −sin⁡xtan⁡−1x→−1\dfrac{-\sin x}{\tan^{-1}x}\to-1. It is not continuous: 1.
  • f3f_3. On the domain, ln⁡(x+2)∈(0,π/2)\ln(x+2)\in(0,\pi/2), so sin⁡(⋅)∈(0,1)\sin(\cdot)\in(0,1) and f3≡0f_3\equiv0. It is differentiable with a continuous derivative: 4.
  • f4f_4. f4′(0)=lim⁡h→0hsin⁡1h=0f_4'(0)=\lim_{h\to0}h\sin\frac1h=0. For x≠0x\ne0, f4′(x)=2xsin⁡1x−cos⁡1xf_4'(x)=2x\sin\frac1x-\cos\frac1x, which has no limit at 0. Differentiable, but the derivative is not continuous: 3.

P → 2; Q → 1; R → 4; S → 3.
