Discuss the continuity of the followingfunctions.

(a) f (x)= sin x + cos x

(b) f (x)= sin x − cos x

(c) f (x)= sin x × cos x



Answer -

It isknown that if and are two continuousfunctions, then

are also continuous.

Ithas to proved first that g (x) = sin and h (x)= cos x are continuous functions.

Let (x)= sin x

It isevident that g (x) = sin x is definedfor every real number.

Let bea real number. Put x = c + h

If x → c,then h → 0

Therefore, g isa continuous function.

Let h (x)= cos x

It isevident that h (x) = cos x is definedfor every real number.

Let bea real number. Put x = c + h

If x → c,then h → 0

(c) =cos c

Therefore, h isa continuous function.

Therefore, it can be concluded that

(a) f (x)= g (x) + h (x) = sin x +cos x is a continuous function

(b) f (x)= g (x) − h (x) = sin x −cos x is a continuous function

(c) f (x)= g (x) × h (x) = sin x ×cos x is a continuous function
