Let the function f:R→Rf:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R} be defined by f(x)=x3−x2+(x−1)sin⁡xf(x)=x^{3}-x^{2}+(x-1)\sin x and let g:R→Rg:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R} be an arbitrary function. Let fg:R→Rfg:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R} be the product function defined by (fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)(fg)(x)=f(x)g(x). Then which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

Answers: A. If gg is continuous at x=1x=1, then fgfg is differentiable at x=1x=1 · C. If gg is differentiable at x=1x=1, then fgfg is differentiable at x=1x=1
