Let f:(0, ) R be a function given by f(x)= ( array cc ( 8 7 )^ 8 x 7 x , & 0 where a , b Z . If f is continuous at x= 2 , then a ^2+ b ^2 is equal to
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
LHL at x = 2 _ x 2 ( 8 7 )^ 8 x 7 x = ( 8 7 )^0=1 RHL at x = 2 aligned & _ x 2 (1+| x|)^ b lan x & =e^ _ x- 2 | x| b a | x| =e^ b a aligned aligned & 1=a-8=e^ b a & a=9, b=0 & a^2+b^2=81 aligned
