The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the function \( f(x) \) defined as follows: \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} 0 & \text{if } x \text{ is irrational} \\ \frac{2}{2q^3 - q^2 + q + \sin^2 q + 5} & \text{if } x = \frac{p}{q} \text{ (rational, where HCF(p, q) = 1, } p, q > 0) \end{cases} \] We need to determine which of the following statements about the continuity of \( f(x) \) are incorrect: 1. \( f(x) \) is continuous at each irrational value. 2. \( f(x) \) is continuous at each rational value. 3. \( f(x) \) is continuous at all \( x \) values. ### Step-by-step Solution: **Step 1: Analyze continuity at irrational points.** For any irrational number \( x \), \( f(x) = 0 \). To check continuity at an irrational point \( c \), we need to see if: \[ \lim_{x \to c} f(x) = f(c) = 0 \] Since \( c \) is irrational, we consider rational numbers approaching \( c \). For rational numbers \( x = \frac{p}{q} \), as \( q \) increases, the value of \( f(x) \) becomes: \[ f\left(\frac{p}{q}\right) = \frac{2}{2q^3 - q^2 + q + \sin^2 q + 5} \] As \( q \to \infty \), the denominator \( 2q^3 - q^2 + q + \sin^2 q + 5 \) approaches infinity, leading \( f\left(\frac{p}{q}\right) \) to approach \( 0 \). Thus: \[ \lim_{x \to c} f(x) = 0 = f(c) \] **Conclusion:** \( f(x) \) is continuous at each irrational point. **Step 2: Analyze continuity at rational points.** For a rational number \( r = \frac{p}{q} \), \( f(r) = \frac{2}{2q^3 - q^2 + q + \sin^2 q + 5} \). To check continuity at \( r \), we need to see if: \[ \lim_{x \to r} f(x) = f(r) \] As \( x \) approaches \( r \) through irrational numbers, \( f(x) \) approaches \( 0 \). However, \( f(r) \) is a positive value (since \( q > 0 \)). Therefore: \[ \lim_{x \to r} f(x) \neq f(r) \] **Conclusion:** \( f(x) \) is not continuous at rational points. **Step 3: Analyze continuity at all \( x \) values.** Since \( f(x) \) is continuous at irrational points but not at rational points, it cannot be continuous at all \( x \) values. ### Final Conclusion: - **Statement 1:** Correct (Continuous at each irrational point) - **Statement 2:** Incorrect (Not continuous at each rational point) - **Statement 3:** Incorrect (Not continuous at all \( x \) values) ### Summary of Incorrect Statements: The incorrect statements are: - \( f(x) \) is continuous at each rational value. - \( f(x) \) is continuous at all \( x \) values.
