Class 12 Maths · Continuity And Differentiability · Short Answer #47

Let f(x)=sin²(λx)/x² for x≠0 and f(0)=1. Find all real λ for continuity at 0.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: λ=±1
  1. For λ≠0, write f(x)=λ²[sin(λx)/(λx)]². For λ=0 the punctured expression is identically 0.
  2. The limit is λ² in every case. Continuity requires λ²=f(0)=1.
  3. Hence λ=±1.
