  • question_answer
    If \[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{align}   & \frac{1-\cos x}{x},\,x\ne 0 \\  & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,k,\,x=0 \\ \end{align} \right.\]is continuous at \[x=0\] then \[k=\] [Karnataka CET 2004]

    A)            0

    B)            \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    C)            \[\frac{1}{4}\]

    D)            \[-\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[f(x)=\left\{ \begin{align}   & \frac{1-\cos x}{x},x\ne 0 \\  & \,\,\,\,\,k\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,,x=0 \\ \end{align} \right.\] continuous at \[x=0\]                    \[\underset{x\to {{0}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,f(x)=f(0)\]Þ \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{2.{{\sin }^{2}}x/2}{x}=k\]                                                               Þ \[\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{2{{\sin }^{2}}x/2}{{{\left( \frac{x}{2} \right)}^{2}}}.\frac{x}{4}=k\Rightarrow k=0\].
