MCQ
The value of $b$ for which the function $\text{f(x)}=\begin{cases}5\text{x}-4,&0<\text{x}\leq1\\4\text{x}^2+3\text{bx},&1<\text{x}<2\end{cases}$ is continuous at every point of its domain, is:
  • $-1$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $\frac{13}{3}$
  • D
    $1$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$-1$
Given, $f(x)$ is continuous at every point of its domain.
So, it is continuous at $x = 1.$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{x}\rightarrow1^{+}}\text{f}\text{(x)}=\text{f}(1)$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\text{f}(1+\text{h})=\text{f}(1)$
$\Rightarrow\lim\limits_{\text{h}\rightarrow0}\Big(4(1+\text{h})^2+3\text{b}(1+\text{h})\Big)=5(1)-4$
$\Rightarrow4+3\text{b}=1$
$\Rightarrow-3=3\text{b}$
$\Rightarrow \text{b} = -1$
