If f x = 1 | x | ; | x | ≥ 1 a x 2 + b ; | x | < 1 is differentiable at every point of the domain, then the values of a and b are respectively:
Options
- A1 2 , 1 2
- B1 2 , - 3 2
- C5 2 , - 3 2
- D- 1 2 , 3 2
Correct answer
D. - 1 2 , 3 2
Step-by-step solution
f x = 1 | x | , | x | ≥ 1 a x 2 + b , | x | < 1 at x = 1 function must be continuous So, 1 = a + b   … 1 differentiability at x = 1 - 1 x 2 x = 1 = ( 2 · a x ) x = 1 ⇒ - 1 = 2 a ⇒ a = - 1 2 Put in ( 1 ) ⇒ b = 1 + 1 2 = 3 2
