Question

The least integral value of p for which f " (x) is everywhere continuous where f(x)=xpsin1x+x|x|,    x00,    x=0 is ______ .

Moderate
Solution

f(x)=xpsin1x+x2,    x>0xpsin1xx2,    x<00,    x=0
f′′(x)=xp4sin1x(p2)xp3cos1x    pxp3cos1x                                 x>0+p(p1)xp2sin1x+2,    xp4sin1x(p2)xp3cos1x    pxp3cos1x    +p(p1))xp2sin1x2,                       x<00,                                                             x=0
RHL = LHL = f(0) = 0
Since sin ∞ and cos ∞ lie between -1 to 1, for p ≥ 5, RHL = 2
LHL = -2
f(0) = 0
For p(5,),f′′(x) is not continuous.
