COMEDK · Maths · 25. Continuity and Differentiability

If \(f(x) = \begin{cases} \dfrac{\sqrt{1+x} - \sqrt{1-x}}{\sin x}, & x \neq 0 \\ k, & x = 0 \end{cases}\) is continuous at \(x = 0\), then \(k =\)

  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)
  3. C \(1\)
  4. D \(0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For the function to be continuous at \(x = 0\), we must have \(\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = f(0) = k\). \(\lim_{x \to 0} \dfrac{\sqrt{1+x} - \sqrt{1-x}}{\sin x}\) Rationalizing the numerator:…
