Which of the following statements about the function cannot be used to conclude that is defined at x = 1?

a) lim x—>1 f(x) exists
b) f is continuous at x = 1
c) f is differentiable at x = 1
d) the line tangent line to the graph of f at x=1 exists

Respuesta :

A Lin x —>1 f(x) exists

a) [tex]\lim_{x \to 1} f(x)[/tex] exists

As the limit of a function at any certain point can exist, but  the function itself may be not defined at that point.

For example, if [tex]f(x) =\frac{ (x^3 - 1) }{(x - 1)}[/tex], then [tex]\lim_{x \to 1}\frac{(x^3 - 1)}{ (x - 1)} = 3[/tex],

So, here f(1)  is undefined as there is a hole in the graph of the function f(x) at the point (1,3).  

Therefore the correct statement about the function cannot be used to conclude that is defined at x = 1 is [tex]\lim_{x \to 1} f(x)[/tex] exists.
