The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given function \( f \) which is differentiable and satisfies the condition \( f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) = 0 \) for all integers \( n \geq 1 \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Condition**: We have \( f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) = 0 \) for \( n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots \). This means: - \( f(1) = 0 \) - \( f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = 0 \) - \( f\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) = 0 \) - \( f\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) = 0 \) - And so on. 2. **Taking the Limit**: As \( n \) approaches infinity, \( \frac{1}{n} \) approaches 0. Therefore, we can write: \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) = f(0) \] Since \( f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) = 0 \) for all \( n \geq 1 \), we have: \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) = 0 \] Thus, \( f(0) = 0 \). 3. **Using the Differentiability of \( f \)**: Since \( f \) is differentiable at \( x = 0 \), we can express the derivative at that point as: \[ f'(0) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(h) - f(0)}{h} \] Given that \( f(0) = 0 \), this simplifies to: \[ f'(0) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(h)}{h} \] 4. **Finding \( f(h) \)**: We know that \( f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) = 0 \) for infinitely many points approaching 0. This suggests that \( f(x) \) must be 0 in a neighborhood around \( x = 0 \). Hence, we can conclude: \[ f(x) = 0 \quad \text{for all } x \] 5. **Conclusion**: Since \( f(x) = 0 \) for all \( x \), the derivative \( f'(x) \) is also: \[ f'(x) = 0 \quad \text{for all } x \] Thus, \( f'(0) = 0 \). ### Final Answer: The correct option is \( f'(0) = 0 \).
