Q. Which of the following functions are continuous for all real numbers?g(x)=ln(x)f(x)=x1Choose 1 answer:(A) g only(B) f only(C) Both g and fD Neither g nor f
Determine Continuity: We need to determine the continuity of the functions g(x)=ln(x) and f(x)=x1 for all real numbers.
Consider g(x)=ln(x): Let's first consider g(x)=ln(x). The natural logarithm function ln(x) is defined only for x > 0. Therefore, it is not defined for x≤0, which means it is not continuous for all real numbers.
Consider f(x)=x1: Now let's consider f(x)=x1. The function x1 is defined for all real numbers except x=0, where it has a vertical asymptote. Therefore, it is not continuous at x=0.
Neither g nor f: Since neither g(x)=ln(x) nor f(x)=x1 is continuous for all real numbers, the correct answer is (D) Neither g nor f.
