f(x)=\begin{cases}x^2&\text{for }x\le2\\mx+b&\text{for }x>2\end{cases}

In order to be differentiable everywhere, f must first be continuous everywhere, which means the limits from either side as x\to2 must be the same and equal to f(2). By definition, f(2)=2^2=4, and

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to2}x^2=4

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2^+}f(x)=\lim_{x\to2}(mx+b)=2m+b

so we need to have 4m+b=4.

For f to be differentiable at x=2, the derivative needs to be continuous at x=2, i.e.

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2^-}f'(x)=\lim_{x\to2^+}f'(x)

We then need to have

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to2}2x=\lim_{x\to2}m\implies\boxed{m=4}

Then

2m+b=4\implies\boxed{b=-4}

Answer: 1 .Thus for a graph to have an Euler circuit, all vertices must have even degree. The converse is also true: if all the vertices of a graph have even degree, then the graph has an Euler circuit, and if there are exactly two vertices with odd degree, the graph has an Euler path.

2. A graph has an Euler circuit if and only if the degree of every vertex is even. A graph has an Euler path if and only if there are at most two vertices with odd degree.
