The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the continuity of the function \( | \sin x | \) and the reasoning provided, we will analyze the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that \( | \sin x | \) is continuous for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \). **Hint:** Recall the definition of continuity at a point and consider the properties of the sine function. ### Step 2: Analyzing the Function \( \sin x \) The sine function, \( \sin x \), is a well-known trigonometric function that is continuous for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \). This means that there are no breaks, jumps, or holes in the graph of \( \sin x \). **Hint:** Use the fact that trigonometric functions are continuous everywhere. ### Step 3: Understanding the Modulus Function The modulus function \( |x| \) is also continuous for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \). The modulus function takes any real number and converts it to its non-negative counterpart. **Hint:** Consider how the modulus function behaves with negative and positive inputs. ### Step 4: Composition of Continuous Functions The composition of two continuous functions is also continuous. Since \( \sin x \) is continuous and \( |x| \) is continuous, we can conclude that \( | \sin x | \) (which is \( |g(f(x))| \) where \( f(x) = \sin x \) and \( g(x) = |x| \)) is continuous. **Hint:** Remember the theorem that states the composition of continuous functions is continuous. ### Step 5: Conclusion on the Assertion Since both \( \sin x \) and \( |x| \) are continuous, it follows that \( | \sin x | \) is continuous for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \). Therefore, the assertion is true. ### Step 6: Understanding the Reason The reason states that both \( \sin x \) and \( |x| \) are continuous in \( \mathbb{R} \). This is indeed true and supports the assertion. **Hint:** Check if the reason logically supports the assertion. ### Final Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. Thus, the answer to the question is: - Assertion (A) is true. - Reason (R) is true and is the correct explanation for (A).
