Consider the following statements: Statement I: The function f(x)=|x| sin x is differentiable at x=0. Statement II: Even if f(x) is not differentiable at x=a and g(x) is differentiable at x=a, the product f(x)g(x) may still be differentiable at x=a. Which of the following is correct?

  1. Statement I is false, Statement II is true
  2. Statement I is true, Statement II is true, and Statement II correctly explains Statement I
  3. Statement I is true, Statement II is false
  4. Statement I is true, Statement II is true, but Statement II does not explain Statement I

Correct answer: Statement I is true, Statement II is true, and Statement II correctly explains Statement I

Solution

f'(0)=lim h->0 (|h|sin h)/h = lim (sin h)(|h|/h)*... evaluating both sides gives 0, so f is differentiable at 0: Statement I is TRUE. Statement II is a true general fact (e.g. this very function), and it correctly explains why I holds. So both statements are true and II explains I.
