Let f(x) be a function defined as `f(x)={{:(,int_(0)^(x)(3+|t-2|),"if "x gt 4),(,2x+8,"if "x le 4):}` Then, f(x) isA. continuous at x=4B. neither continuous nor differentiable at x=4C. everywhere continuous but not differentiable at x=4D. everywhere continuous and differentiable

Answer» Correct Answer - C
For `x gt 4`, we have
`f(x)=underset(0)overset(x)int (3+|t-1|)dt`
`Rightarrow f(x)=underset(0)overset(2)int (3-|t-2|)dt+underset(0)overset(x)int (3+(t-2))dt`
`Rightarrow f(x)=underset(0)overset(2)int (5-t)dt+underset(2)overset(x)int (1+t)dt`
`Rightarrow f(x)=[5x-(t^(2))/(2)]^(2)+[t+(t^(2))/(2)]_(2)^(x)`
`Rightarrow f(x)=(x^(2))/(2)+x+4`
Thus, we have `f(x)={{:(,(x^(2))/(2)+x+4,"if "x gt 4),(,2x+8,"if "x le 4):}`
Clearly, f(x) is continuous at x=4
We have
`("LHD of f(x) at x=4")={(d)/(dx)(2x+8)}_(x=4)=2`
`("RHD of f(x) at x=4")={(d)/(dx)(x^(2)/(2)+x+4)}_(x=4)=9`
Clearly, `"Clearly", ("LHD of f(x) x=4") ne ("RHD of f(x) at x=4")`
So, f(x) is not differentiable at x=4.
Thus, f(x) is everywhere continuous but not differentiable at x=4.
