The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the function \( f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \) given that it 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 know that \( f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) = 0 \) for \( n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots \). This means that the function takes the value 0 at the points \( \frac{1}{1}, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}, \ldots \). 2. **Convergence of the Sequence**: The sequence \( x_n = \frac{1}{n} \) converges to 0 as \( n \) approaches infinity. Since \( f \) is continuous (as it is differentiable), we can use the property of continuity. 3. **Applying Continuity**: By the continuity of \( f \) at \( x = 0 \): \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) = f(0) \] Since \( f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) = 0 \) for all \( n \), we have: \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} 0 = f(0) \] Thus, \( f(0) = 0 \). 4. **Finding the Derivative at Zero**: Now, we will find \( f'(0) \). The derivative at a point is defined as: \[ f'(0) = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x) - f(0)}{x - 0} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{x} \] Since \( f(0) = 0 \), this simplifies to: \[ f'(0) = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{x} \] 5. **Using the Condition Again**: We can also evaluate this limit using the points \( x = \frac{1}{n} \) as \( n \) approaches infinity. For \( x = \frac{1}{n} \): \[ f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) = 0 \implies \frac{f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}{\frac{1}{n}} = \frac{0}{\frac{1}{n}} = 0 \] Therefore, as \( n \to \infty \): \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}{\frac{1}{n}} = 0 \] This implies: \[ f'(0) = 0 \] ### Conclusion: From the above steps, we conclude that: - \( f(0) = 0 \) - \( f'(0) = 0 \)

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the function \( f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \) given that it 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 know that \( f\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) = 0 \) for \( n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots \).
