Solution
Core Logic
Analyze the function limit as θ → 0: When |x| < 1, x2/θ → 0. When |x| > 1, x2/θ → ∞.
f(x) = cases π x & x → 1^- (- (x - 1))/(x - 1) & x → 1^+ casesStep 1: Check Continuity at x = 1
RHL = x → 1^+ (- (x - 1))/(x - 1) = -1 LHL = x → 1^- π x = -1 f(1) = ( (π) - 1 · (0))/(1 + 1 · 0) = -1Since LHL = RHL = f(1), f(x) is continuous at x = 1. Statement (I) is False.
Step 2: Check Continuity at x = -1
For x near -1:
f(x) = cases (- (x - 1))/(x - 1) & x → -1^- π x & x → -1^+ cases RHL = x → -1^+ π x = (-π) = -1 LHL = x → -1^- (- (x - 1))/(x - 1) = (- (-2))/(-2) = (- 2)/(2)Since LHL ≠ RHL, f(x) is discontinuous at x = -1. Statement (II) is False.
Step 3: Final Conclusion
Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
Pattern Recognition
The expression x2/θ acts like a switch function similar to x²ⁿ as n → ∞. For |x|<1, the term drops out, and for |x|>1, the leading order terms with x2/θ dominate.
