Visualized Solution (Hindi)
Visualizing the Function f(x)
- Function: f(x)={1+e1/xx,0,x=0x=0
- Goal: Find f′(0+) and f′(0−).
- Check if the function is differentiable at x=0.
Right-Hand Derivative Formula
- Definition: f′(0+)=limh→0+hf(0+h)−f(0)
- This represents the slope of the tangent from the right side.
Substitution for f′(0+)
- Substitute f(h)=1+e1/hh and f(0)=0:
- f'(0^+) = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{\frac{h}{1 + e^{1/h}} - 0}{h}
Simplifying the RHD Expression
- Cancel h from the numerator and denominator:
- f'(0^+) = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{1}{1 + e^{1/h}}
Evaluating the RHD Limit
- As h→0+, h1→∞.
- Therefore, e1/h→∞.
- f'(0^+) = \frac{1}{1 + \infty} = 0
Left-Hand Derivative Formula
- Definition: f′(0−)=limh→0+−hf(0−h)−f(0)
- This represents the slope of the tangent from the left side.
Substitution for f′(0−)
- Substitute f(−h)=1+e−1/h−h and f(0)=0:
- f'(0^-) = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{\frac{-h}{1 + e^{-1/h}} - 0}{-h}
Simplifying the LHD Expression
- Cancel −h from the numerator and denominator:
- f'(0^-) = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{1}{1 + e^{-1/h}}
Evaluating the LHD Limit
- As h→0+, −h1→−∞.
- Therefore, e−1/h→0.
- f'(0^-) = \frac{1}{1 + 0} = 1
Final Conclusion
- f′(0+)=0
- f′(0−)=1
- Since f′(0+)=f′(0−), the function is not differentiable at x=0.
- Final Answer: 0,1
