For the function f(x)=e |x|-|x|, x R, consider the following statements : In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  4. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Answer

(1) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Solution

For x 0: f(x)=e x-x f'(x)= x e x-1

For x<0: |x|=- x, |x|=-x f(x)=e- x+x f'(x)=1- x e- x

Both pieces are differentiable, so only x=0 needs checking:

f'(0+)=1 e0-1=0, f'(0-)=1-1 e0=0

f'(0+)=f'(0-)=0 (the corners of e |x| and -|x| at 0 cancel)

f is differentiable for all x Statement I is true

For x (- , - 2 ): x<0 and e- x>0

f'(x)=1- x e- x>1>0

f is increasing in (- , - 2 ) Statement II is true

Answer: (1)
