Step-by-step Analysis
1. Analyze the function f(x) at x = 1
The given function is .
Let's analyze its properties at x = 1.
-
Value of f(1): .
-
Differentiability and f'(1): The function
f(x)is a sum and product of polynomial and trigonometric functions, which are differentiable everywhere onR. Thus,f(x)is differentiable for all `x
R. Let's find its derivative f'(x)using the product rule for(x - 1)sin(x): $f'(x) = d/dx (x^3 - x^2) + d/dx ((x - 1)sin(x))$ f'(x) = 3x^2 - 2x + [1
sin(x) + (x - 1)cos(x)]`
, and 0 < 1 <
/2, we have sin(1) > 0. Therefore, f'(1) = 1 + sin(1) > 1, which means f'(1)
0`.
2. Analyze the differentiability of the product function fg(x) at x = 1
The differentiability of fg(x) at x = 1 is determined by the existence of the following limit:
`$(fg)'(1) =
lim_{x
1} rac{(fg)(x) - (fg)(1)}{x - 1} = lim_{x
1} rac{f(x)g(x) - f(1)g(1)}{x - 1}$`
Since f(1) = 0, the expression simplifies to:
`$(fg)'(1) =
lim_{x
1} rac{f(x)g(x)}{x - 1}$`
We can rewrite this limit as: `$(fg)'(1) = lim_{x
1} rac{f(x) - f(1)}{x - 1}
g(x)(sincef(1)=0`)
We know that ` lim_{x
1}
rac{f(x) - f(1)}{x - 1} = f'(1) = 1 + sin(1), which is a non-zero finite value. Let L_f =
lim_{x
1}
rac{f(x) - f(1)}{x - 1} = f'(1). Let L_g =
lim_{x
1} g(x)`.
Then, `$(fg)'(1) = lim_{x
1} ( rac{f(x) - f(1)}{x - 1})
lim_{x
1} g(x) = f'(1)
( lim_{x
1} g(x))L_f$ exists and is non-zero, the limit for (fg)'(1) exists if and only if `
lim_{x
1} g(x)` exists.
Key finding: fg is differentiable at x=1 if and only if `
lim_{x
1} g(x)` exists.
Now we evaluate each statement based on this finding.
A: If g is continuous at x = 1, then fg is differentiable at x = 1
If g is continuous at x = 1, then by definition, `
lim_{x
1} g(x)exists and is equal tog(1). Since
lim_{x
1} g(x)exists, our key finding implies thatfgis differentiable atx = 1`.
Therefore, statement A is TRUE.
B: If fg is differentiable at x = 1, then g is continuous at x = 1
If fg is differentiable at x = 1, our key finding implies that `
lim_{x
1} g(x)exists. Forgto be continuous atx = 1, we need
lim_{x
1} g(x) = g(1). The differentiability of fg` does not guarantee this equality.
Counterexample: Let g(x) be defined as:
g(x) = 2 if `x
1 g(x) = 3ifx = 1Here,
lim_{x
1} g(x) = 2, so the limit exists. This means fgis differentiable atx=1. However, g(1) = 3, so
lim_{x
1} g(x)
g(1). Thus, gis not continuous atx=1`.
Therefore, statement B is FALSE.
C: If g is differentiable at x = 1, then fg is differentiable at x = 1
If g is differentiable at x = 1, it must also be continuous at x = 1. As established in the analysis of statement A, if g is continuous at x = 1, then fg is differentiable at x = 1.
Alternatively, since both f and g are differentiable at x = 1, their product fg is also differentiable at x = 1 by the product rule of differentiation.
`$(fg)'(1) = f'(1)g(1) + f(1)g'(1) = (1 + sin(1))g(1) + 0
g'(1) = (1 + sin(1))g(1)`. The derivative exists. Therefore, statement C is TRUE.
D: If fg is differentiable at x = 1, then g is differentiable at x = 1
If fg is differentiable at x = 1, we only know that `
lim_{x
1} g(x)exists. This does not imply thatgis differentiable atx = 1`.
Counterexample: Let g(x) = |x - 1|.
This function is continuous at x = 1 (since `
lim_{x
1} |x-1| = 0 = g(1)), but it is not differentiable at x = 1. Since g(x) = |x - 1|is continuous atx = 1, from statement A we know that fgis differentiable atx = 1. So we have a case where fgis differentiable atx=1butgis not. Let's verify the derivative offgfor this case:$(fg)'(1) = f'(1)
( lim_{x
1} g(x)) = (1 + sin(1))
( lim_{x
1} |x-1|) = (1 + sin(1))
0 = 0`. The derivative exists. Therefore, statement D is FALSE.
Conclusion
The correct statements are A and C.
