The contrapositive of the statement 'If a function is differentiable at , then is continuous at ' is:

  1. A.If is not differentiable at , then is not continuous at .
  2. B.If is continuous at , then is differentiable at .
  3. C.If is not continuous at , then is not differentiable at .
  4. D.If is continuous at , then is not differentiable at .
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution

Correct answer: CIf is not continuous at , then is not differentiable at .

Solution

  1. Let be 'f is differentiable at ' and be 'f is continuous at '.
  2. The original statement is .
  3. The contrapositive of is defined as .
  4. Substituting the statements, we get 'If f is not continuous at , then f is not differentiable at '.
  5. Hence the answer is (C).
