The contrapositive of the statement 'If a function is differentiable at , then is continuous at ' is:
- A.If is not differentiable at , then is not continuous at .
- B.If is continuous at , then is differentiable at .
- C.If is not continuous at , then is not differentiable at .
- D.If is continuous at , then is not differentiable at .
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: C — If is not continuous at , then is not differentiable at .
Solution
- Let be 'f is differentiable at ' and be 'f is continuous at '.
- The original statement is .
- The contrapositive of is defined as .
- Substituting the statements, we get 'If f is not continuous at , then f is not differentiable at '.
- Hence the answer is (C).
