The correct answer is: Continuous if p>-1 and differentiable if p>0
Continuity at x=0,
L.H.L.=limh0+f0-h=limh0+-hp+1cos-11h
=0 if p>-1
R.H.L.=limh0+f0+h=limh0+hp+1cos-11h
=0 if p>-1
and f0=0.
fx is continuous at x=ip>-1
Differentiability at x=0:
L.H.D.=limh0+f0hf0h
=limh0+-hp+1cos-11h-0-h
=limh0+-hpcos-11h=0 if p>0,
R.H.D.=limh0+hp+1cos11h0h
=limh0+hpcos-11h=0 if p>0
fx is differentiable at x=0 if p>0
