Then which of the following is true

Options

A. `f`"`(2/pi) = (12-pi^2)/(2pi)`
B. `f`"`(2/pi) = (24-pi^2)/(2pi)`
C. `f`"`(0) = 0`
D. `f`"`(0) = pi/2`

Answer

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the function \( f(x) \) defined as follows:

\[ f(x) = \begin{cases} x^3 \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) & \text{if } x \neq 0 \\ 0 & \text{if } x = 0 \end{cases} \]

We need to determine the second derivative of this function and evaluate it at specific points to see which statements are true.

### Step 1: Find the first derivative \( f'(x) \)

For \( x \neq 0 \), we use the product rule to differentiate \( f(x) \):

\[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}\left(x^3\right) \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) + x^3 \frac{d}{dx}\left(\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\right) \]

Calculating the derivatives:

1. \( \frac{d}{dx}(x^3) = 3x^2 \)
2. \( \frac{d}{dx}\left(\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\right) = \cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \cdot \left(-\frac{1}{x^2}\right) = -\frac{\cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x^2} \)

Putting it all together:

\[ f'(x) = 3x^2 \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) + x^3 \left(-\frac{\cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x^2}\right) \]

Simplifying:

\[ f'(x) = 3x^2 \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) - x \cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \]

### Step 2: Find the second derivative \( f''(x) \)

Now we differentiate \( f'(x) \):

\[ f''(x) = \frac{d}{dx}\left(3x^2 \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\right) - \frac{d}{dx}\left(x \cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\right) \]

Calculating each part:

1. For \( 3x^2 \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \):
- Using the product rule:
\[ \frac{d}{dx}(3x^2) \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) + 3x^2 \frac{d}{dx}\left(\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\right) \]
- This gives:
\[ 6x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) + 3x^2 \left(-\frac{\cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x^2}\right) = 6x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) - 3\cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \]

2. For \( x \cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \):
- Again using the product rule:
\[ \frac{d}{dx}(x) \cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) + x \frac{d}{dx}\left(\cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\right) \]
- This gives:
\[ \cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) + x\left(-\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\left(-\frac{1}{x^2}\right)\right) = \cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) + \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x} \]

Putting it all together for \( f''(x) \):

\[ f''(x) = \left(6x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) - 3\cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\right) - \left(\cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) + \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x}\right) \]

Simplifying:

\[ f''(x) = 6x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) - 4\cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) - \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x} \]

### Step 3: Evaluate \( f''(0) \)

To find \( f''(0) \), we need to consider the limit as \( x \to 0 \):

\[ f''(0) = \lim_{x \to 0} \left(6x \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) - 4\cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) - \frac{\sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}{x}\right) \]

As \( x \to 0 \), \( \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \) oscillates between -1 and 1, and \( \cos\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \) also oscillates. Thus, \( f''(0) \) is not defined.

### Conclusion

Based on the analysis, we can conclude the following:

1. \( f''(0) \) is not defined.
2. The value of \( f''(x) \) as \( x \to 2/\pi \) can be calculated, but the specific value is not straightforward without further computation.
