The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are always true given that \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 0 \), let's analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the definition of continuity A function \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 0 \) if: 1. \( f(0) \) is defined. 2. \( \lim_{x \to 0} f(x) \) exists. 3. \( \lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = f(0) \). ### Step 2: Analyze each option **Option A:** \( \lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = 0 \) - This statement is not necessarily true. While \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 0 \), it does not imply that the limit must equal zero. The limit could be any value that equals \( f(0) \). Therefore, this statement is **false**. **Option B:** \( f(x) \) is non-continuous at \( x = 1 \) - The continuity of \( f(x) \) at \( x = 0 \) does not provide any information about its behavior at \( x = 1 \). Thus, we cannot conclude anything about the continuity of \( f(x) \) at \( x = 1 \). Therefore, this statement is **false**. **Option C:** \( g(x) = x^2 f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 0 \) - Since \( f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 0 \) and \( x^2 \) is a polynomial (and hence continuous everywhere), the product of two continuous functions is also continuous. Therefore, \( g(x) = x^2 f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 0 \). This statement is **true**. **Option D:** \( \lim_{x \to 0^+} (f(x) - f(0)) = 0 \) - For \( f(x) \) to be continuous at \( x = 0 \), it must hold that \( \lim_{x \to 0} f(x) = f(0) \). This implies that both the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit equal \( f(0) \). Hence, \( \lim_{x \to 0^+} (f(x) - f(0)) = 0 \) is indeed true. This statement is **true**. ### Conclusion From the analysis, we conclude that the statements that are always true are: - **C:** \( g(x) = x^2 f(x) \) is continuous at \( x = 0 \). - **D:** \( \lim_{x \to 0^+} (f(x) - f(0)) = 0 \). ### Summary of Results - **A:** False - **B:** False - **C:** True - **D:** True
