Options:
  • A \( h(x) \) is differentiable at \( x=0 \), but \( h^{\prime}(x) \) is not continuous at \( x=0 \)
  • B \( h(x) \) is not differentiable at \( x=0 \)
  • C \( h^{\prime}(x) \) is differentiable at \( x=0 \)
  • D \( h^{\prime}(x) \) is continuous at \( x=0 \) but is not differentiable at \( x=0 \)

The correct answer is: \( h^{\prime}(x) \) is continuous at \( x=0 \) but is not differentiable at \( x=0 \)
hx=sinx2         x0-sinx2     x<0
h'0+=limx0+sinx2x=0
h'0-=limx0--sinx2x=0
Hence, h'0=0
So h'x2xcosx2     x>00         x=0-2xcosx2     x<0
Now, h''0+=limx0+2xcosx2x=2
h''(0-)=limx0--2xcosx2x=-2
Hence, h'x is non-derivable at x=0.
