Question

Prove that the function f defined by $f (x) = {\begin{matrix} \frac{x}{| x | + 2 x^{2}} & i f x \neq 0 k, & i f x = 0 \end{matrix}$
remains discontinuous at x=0, regardless the choice of k.

Solution

We have, $f (x) = {\begin{matrix} \frac{x}{| x | + 2 x^{2}} & i f x \neq 0 k, & i f x = 0 \end{matrix}$
At x=0,,
LHL= $l i m x \to 0^{-} \frac{x}{| x | + 2 x^{2}} = l i m h \to 0 \frac{(0 - H)}{| 0 - H | + 2 (0 - H)^{2}} = l i m h \to 0 \frac{- h}{h + 2 h^{2}} = l i m h \to 0 \frac{- h}{h (1 + 2 h)} = - 1$
RHL= $l i m x \to 0^{+} \frac{x}{| x | + 2 x^{2}} = l i m h \to 0 \frac{0 + h}{| 0 + h | + 2 (0 + h)^{2}} = l i m h \to 0 \frac{h}{h + 2 h^{2}} = l i m h \to 0 \frac{h}{h (1 + 2 h)} = 1$
and f(0)=k
Since, LHL $\neq$ RHL for any value of k,
Hence, f(x) is discontinuous at x=0 regardless the choice of k.
