B. Determine the values of a and b so that f is continuous

Mathematics

miskamm [114]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For a function to be continuous

The right hand limit f'+(x) must be equal to the left hand limit f'-(x)

The right hand limit exist at where x>3

The resulting function is. x²+a

If x = 3

f'+(3) = 3²+a

f'+(3) = 9+a

For the left hand limit, this exist where

bx+a

f'-(x) =bx+a

f'-(3) = 3b+a

Since f'+(3) = f'-(3)

9+a = 3b+a

9 =3b

b = 9/3

b = 3

At the end point x = -3

For the left hand limit

f-(x)= √-b-x

f-(-3) = √-b-(-3)

f(-3) = √-b+3

For the right hand, the function is bx+a

f'+(x) = bx+a

f+(-3) = -3b + a

Equate both limits

√-b+3 = -3b+a

√-3+3 = -3(3)+a

0 = -9+a

a= 9

Hence a = 9 and b = 3

Answer:

The right answer is:

Option OB: f(1) = -9

Common difference: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is:

-9, -2, 5, 12,...

Here the first number is f(1)

Common Difference:

Common difference is the difference between consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence. It is denoted by d.

In the given sequence,

f(1) = -9

f(2) = -2

f(3) = 5

d=f(2)-f(1) = -2-(-9) = -2+9 = 7\\d = f(3)-f(2) = 5-(-2) = 5+2 = 7

Hence,

The right answer is:

Option OB: f(1) = -9

Common difference: 7
