The real valued function \(f(x)=\frac{|x-a|}{x-a}\) is

  1. A continuous only at \(x=a\)
  2. B discontinuous only for \(x \gt a\)
  3. C a constant function when \(x \gt a\)
  4. D strictly increasing when \(x \lt a\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) a constant function when \(x \gt a\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & f(x)= \frac{|x-a|}{x-a} \\ &=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}1 & , \\ -x \gt a \\ -1 & , \\ x \lt a\end{array} \Rightarrow \lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x) \text { doesn't exist }\right.\end{aligned}\) \(\therefore f(x)\) is discontinuous at \(x=a\) and constant when…
