f ( x ) = 0 x t sin 1 t \large f(x)= \int_{0}^{x} t \sin \frac 1t

For f ( x ) f(x) defined above, what is the number of points of discontinuity it has in the open interval ( 0 , π ) ? (0,\pi)?


The answer is 0.

For a function to have a discontinuity at a point, its derivative must not exist on that point. Here, we are given f ( x ) = 0 x t s i n 1 t d t f(x)=\int_{0}^{x}tsin\frac{1}{t}dt We compute its derivative by using the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus f ( x ) = d d x 0 x t s i n 1 t d t \Rightarrow f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\int_{0}^{x}tsin\frac{1}{t}dt f ( x ) = x s i n 1 x \Rightarrow f'(x)=xsin\frac{1}{x} x s i n 1 x xsin\frac{1}{x} is defined x ( 0 , π ) \forall x\in (0,\pi) f ( x ) \therefore f(x) doesn't have any discontinuity at ( 0 , π ) (0,\pi) .
