Let \(f(x)\) be a real valued function. If \(f^{\prime}(x)\) is a constant for all \(x \in \mathbb{R}, f(0)=2\) and \(f^{\prime}(0)=1\), then

  1. A \(\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})\) is not continuous on \(\mathbb{R}\)
  2. B \(f(x)\) is continuous at \(x=0,1,2\) and 3 only
  3. C \(f(x)\) is continuous only on \([0, \infty)\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})\) is continuous on \(\mathbb{R}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})\) is continuous on \(\mathbb{R}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since \(f^{\prime}(x)\) is a constant \[ \therefore f^{\prime}(x)=a \text { (say) }...(1) \] \(\Rightarrow f(x)=a x+b\) where \(b\) is arbitrary constant. ...(2) Since \(f(0)=2 \Rightarrow b=2\) Since \(f^{\prime}(0)=1 \Rightarrow a=1\) \[ \therefore f(x)=(x+2) \] Which is…
