  1. A \(f(x)\) is continuous for all \(x\)
  2. B \(f(x)\) is differentiable for all \(x\)
  3. C \(f^{\prime}(x)=2\) for all \(x\gt1\)
  4. D \(f(x)\) is not differentiable at three values of \(x\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(f(x)\) is continuous for all \(x\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} f(x) & =\min \left\{x, x^2\right\} \\ & =\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x & \text { if } & x \lt 0 \\ x^2 & \text { if } & 0 \leq x \lt 1 \\ x & \text { if } & 1 \lt x\end{array}\right.\end{aligned}\)…
