- BInfinitely many
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Given: f\left(x\right) = \left\{\begin{cases}\dfrac{a\left(7x - 12 - {x}^{2}\right)}{b\left|{x}^{2} - 7x + 12\right|} & , x < 3 \\ 2\dfrac{\sin ( x - 3 )}{x - [ x ]} & , x > 3 \\ b & , x = 3\end{cases}\right)</p><p>⇒ f\left({3}^{-}\right) = \dfrac{a\left(7x - 12 - {x}^{2}\right)}{b | {x}^{2} - 7x + 12 |}⇒ f\left({3}^{-}\right) = \dfrac{- a ( x - 3 ) ( x - 4 )}{b ( x - 3 ) ( x - 4 )}⇒ f\left({3}^{-}\right) = \dfrac{- a}{b} . . . \left(i\right)f\left({3}^{+}\right) = {2}^{\lim_{x \to {3}^{+}}\left(\dfrac{\sin ( x - 3 )}{x - 3}\right)}⇒ f\left({3}^{+}\right) = 2 . . . \left(ii\right)f ( 3 ) = b . . . \left(iii\right)f\left(x\right)x = 3f ( 3 ) = f ( {3}^{+} ) = f ( {3}^{-} )⇒ b = 2 = \dfrac{- a}{b}⇒ b = 2, a = - 41S( - 4, 2 )$.
