-X
-1sxs1
f(x) =.
2x - 4x +2
1<xs3
Choose the correct answer below.
O A. No, f(x) is differentiable at every point in (- 1,3) but is not continuous at every point in [- 1,3].
O B. Yes, f(x) is continuous at every point in (-1,3) and differentiable at every point in [- 1,3].
OC. No, f(x) is continuous at every point in [- 1,3] but is not differentiable at every point in (- 1,3).
O D. Yes, f(x) is continuous at every point in [-1,3] and differentiable at every point in (- 1,3).
