If \(f(x)=\min \left\{1, x^2, x^3\right\}\), then

  1. A
    \(f(x)\) is continuous everywhere
  2. B
    \(f(x)\) is continuous and differentiable everywhere
  3. C
    \(f(x)\) is not differentiable at two points
  4. D
    \(f(x)\) is not differentiable at one point
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D)
\(f(x)\) is not differentiable at one point

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, \(f(x)=\min .\left\{1, x^2, x^3\right\}\) which could be graphically shown as
\[
\therefore \quad f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{c}
1, x \geq 1 \\
x^3, x < 1
\end{array}\right.
\]

\[
\Rightarrow f(x) \text { is continuous for } x \in R \text { and not differentiable at } x=1 \text { due to sharp edge. }
\]
