What are the properties of these three functions?

In summary, among the three functions, one is continuous everywhere but not differentiable at 0, one is differentiable but the derivative is discontinuous at 0, and one is differentiable and has a continuous derivative.

Among the following function,
-one is continuous everywhere,but not differentiable at 0
-one is differentiable,but derivative is discontinuous at 0
-one is differentiable and has continuous derivative

1)[tex]f(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{cc}\ln (1 + x^3)\sin\frac {1}{x},x > 0 \\
0,x\leq0\end{array}\right[/tex]

2)[tex]g(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{cc}\ln^2(1 + x)\sin\frac {1}{x},x > 0 \\
0,x\leq0\end{array}\right[/tex]

3)[tex]h(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{cc}\ln (1 + \frac {\sin x}{2}),x > 0 \\
x\leq0\end{array}\right[/tex]

Solution:

1)[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac {\ln (1 + x^3)\sin\frac {1}{x}}{x} = \lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac {(x^3 + 0{x^6})\sin\frac {1}{x}}{x} = 0[/tex]

differentiable

[tex]f'(x) = \frac {3x^2\sin\frac {1}{x}}{1 + x^3} - \frac {\cos\frac {1}{x}\ln (1 + x^3)}{x^2}[/tex]

2)[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac {(x^2 + o(x^4))\sin\frac {1}{x}}{x} = 0[/tex] differentiable

[tex]g'(x) = \frac {2\ln (1 + x)\sin\frac {1}{x}}{1 + x} - \frac {\cos\frac {1}{x}\ln^2 (1 + x)}{x^2}[/tex]

3)[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac {(\frac {\sin x}{2} + 0(\sin^2x))\sin\frac {1}{x}}{x} = \lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\sin\frac {1}{x}[/tex] not differentiable

I couldn't find which function f'(x) or g'(x) is not differentiable at 0,which one continuous.

This may not be the most analytical method, but try graphing these functions, it becomes easier to see.
 

What is a function?

A function is a mathematical relationship between inputs and outputs, where each input has exactly one corresponding output. It can be thought of as a machine that takes in an input and produces an output.

What are the different types of functions?

There are several types of functions, including linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and polynomial functions. Each type has its own unique properties and can be represented graphically.

How do you determine the domain and range of a function?

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values, while the range is the set of all possible output values. To determine the domain, you must look at any restrictions on the input values, such as a denominator cannot be equal to 0. The range can be found by looking at the graph of the function or by analyzing the behavior of the function as the input values change.

What does it mean for a function to be continuous?

A function is continuous if there are no breaks or gaps in its graph. This means that as the input values change, the output values also change smoothly without any sudden jumps or interruptions.

How do you find the inverse of a function?

The inverse of a function is a function that "undoes" the original function. To find the inverse, you can switch the input and output variables and solve for the new output variable. The domain and range of the inverse function will be switched compared to the original function.
