Manipal MET2010MathematicsContinuity and Differentiability
If f(x)= array cc a x^2+b, & 0 x 1 x+3, & 1 x 2 4, & x=1 array . , then the value of (a, b) for which f(x) cannot be continuous at x=1 is
Options
- A(2,2)
- B(3,1)
- C(4,0)
- D(5,2)
Correct answer
D. (5,2)
Step-by-step solution
We have, _ h 0 f(1-h)= _ h 0 a(1-h)^2+b=a+b _ h 0 f(1+h)= _ h 0 (1+h)+3=4 and f(1)=4 f(x) will not be continuous at x=1 , if a+b 4
