For a real number $$y,$$ let $$\left[ y \right]$$ denotes the greatest integer less
than or equal to $$y:$$ Then the function $$f\left( x \right) = \frac{{\tan \left( {\pi \left[ {x - \pi } \right]} \right)}}{{1 + {{\left[ x \right]}^2}}}$$ is-
A
discontinuous at some $$x$$
B
continuous at all $$x,$$ but the derivative $$f'\left( x \right)$$ does not exist for some $$x$$
C
$$f'\left( x \right)$$ exists for all $$x,$$ but the second derivative $$f'\left( x \right)$$ does not exist for some $$x$$
D
$$f'\left( x \right)$$ exists for all $$x$$
Answer :
$$f'\left( x \right)$$ exists for all $$x$$
$$f\left( x \right) = \frac{{\tan \left( {\pi \left[ {x - \pi } \right]} \right)}}{{1 + {{\left[ x \right]}^2}}}$$
By def. $$\left[ {x - \pi } \right]$$ is an integer whatever be the value of $$x.$$
And so $$\pi \left[ {x - \pi } \right]$$ is an integral multiple of $$\pi .$$
Consequently $$\tan \left( {\pi \left[ {x - \pi } \right]} \right) = 0,\,\,\forall \,x.$$
And since $$1 + {\left[ x \right]^2} \ne 0$$ for any $$x,$$ we conclude that $$f\left( x \right) = 0.$$
Thus $$f\left( x \right)$$ is constant function and so, it is continuous and differentiable any number of times, that is $$f'\left( x \right),\,f''\left( x \right),\,f'''\left( x \right),.....$$ all exist for every $$x,$$ their value being 0 at every pt. $$x.$$
Hence, out of all the alternatives only (D) is correct.

What is $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \frac{{2\left( {1 - \cos \,x} \right)}}{{{x^2}}}$$ equal to ?
$$\eqalign{
& \left( {\bf{A}} \right)\,\,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} f\left( x \right) = {\text{ does not exist}}{\text{.}} \cr
& \left( {\bf{B}} \right)\,\,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} f\left( x \right) = {\text{ does not exist}}{\text{.}} \cr
& \left( {\bf{C}} \right)\,\,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} f\left( x \right) = {\text{ does not exist}}{\text{.}} \cr} $$
$$\left( {\bf{D}} \right)\,\,\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} f\left( x \right) = \frac{{ - 1}}{{2\sqrt 2 }},$$ therefore $$f\left( x \right)$$ has removable discontinuity at $$x = 1.$$

If the mean value theorem is $$f\left( b \right) - f\left( a \right) = \left( {b - a} \right)f'\left( c \right).$$ Then, for the function $${x^2} - 2x + 3$$ in $$\left[ {1,\,\frac{3}{2}} \right]$$ the value of $$c$$ is :
37.
The function $$f\left( x \right) = {\left[ x \right]^2} - \left[ {{x^2}} \right]$$ (where $$\left[ y \right]$$ is the greatest integer less than or equal to $$y$$ ), is discontinuous at-

Let $$f\left( x \right)$$ be a continuous function defined for $$1 \leqslant x \leqslant 3.$$ If $$f\left( x \right)$$ takes rational values for all $$x$$ and $$f\left( 2 \right) = 10$$ then the value of $$f\left( {1.5} \right)$$ is :
As $$f\left( x \right)$$ is continuous in $$\left[ {1,\,3} \right],\,f\left( x \right)$$ will attain all values between $$f\left( 1 \right)$$ and $$f\left( 3 \right).$$ As $$f\left( x \right)$$ takes rational values for all $$x$$ and there are innumerable irrational values between $$f\left( 1 \right)$$ and $$f\left( 3 \right),\,f\left( x \right)$$ can take rational values for all $$x$$ if $$f\left( x \right)$$ has a constant rational value at all points between $$x=1$$ and $$x=3.$$ So, $$f\left( 2 \right) = f\left( {1.5} \right) = 10.$$
