Step 1: Find the left-hand derivative (LHD)
The LHD at \( x = 1 \) is: \[ {LHD} = \lim_{h \to 0^-} \frac{f(1 + h) - f(1)}{-h}. \] Substituting \( f(x) = x^2 + 1 \) for \( x<1 \): \[ {LHD} = \lim_{h \to 0^-} \frac{(1 - h)^2 + 1 - 2}{-h}. \] Simplify: \[ {LHD} = \lim_{h \to 0^-} \frac{1 - 2h + h^2 - 1}{-h} = \lim_{h \to 0^-} \frac{-2h + h^2}{-h}. \] Factorize: \[ {LHD} = \lim_{h \to 0^-} (2 - h) = 2. \]
Step 2: Find the right-hand derivative (RHD)
The RHD at \( x = 1 \) is: \[ {RHD} = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{f(1 + h) - f(1)}{h}. \] Substituting \( f(x) = 3 - x \) for \( x>1 \): \[ {RHD} = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{[3 - (1 + h)] - 2}{h}. \] Simplify: \[ {RHD} = \lim_{h \to 0^+} \frac{-h}{h} = -1. \]
Step 3: Check differentiability
Since \( {LHD} \neq {RHD} \), \( f(x) \) is not differentiable at \( x = 1 \).
Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Show that the relation R in the set R of real numbers, defined as
R = {(a, b): a ≤ b2 } is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.
Check whether the relation R defined in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as
R = {(a, b): b = a + 1} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.
A bacteria sample of a certain number of bacteria is observed to grow exponentially in a given amount of time. Using the exponential growth model, the rate of growth of this sample of bacteria is calculated. The differential equation representing the growth is:
\[ \frac{dP}{dt} = kP, \] where \( P \) is the bacterial population.
Based on this, answer the following:
