Let \(\mathrm{f}:[-1,3] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) be defined as
\(|x|+[x], -1 \leqslant x \lt 1 \ x+|x|, 1 \leqslant x \lt 2 \ x+[x],\) \(2 \leqslant x \leqslant 3\)
where \([t]\) denotes the greatest integer function.
Then f is discontinuous at

  1. A only two points
  2. B only three points
  3. C four or more points
  4. D only one point
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) only three points

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{f}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}
|x|+[x], & -1 \leq x \lt 1 \\
x+|x|, & 1 \leq x \lt 2 \\
x+[x], & 2 \leq x \leq 3
\end{array}\right. \\
& \therefore \quad \mathrm{f}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}
-(x+1), & -1 \leq x \lt 0 \\
x, & 0 \leq x \lt 1 \\
2 x, & 1 \leq x \lt 2 \\
x+2, & 2 \leq x \lt 3 \\
x+3, & x=3
\end{array}\right.
\end{aligned}\)
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{f}(x)\) is discontinuous at \(x=0,1,3\).
