For what value of is the function continuous at x = 0? What about continuity at x = ± 1?
we have to find the value of '' such that f(x) is continuous at x = 0
If f(x) is be continuous at x = 0,then, f(0)–=f(0) + =f(0)
LHL = f(0)–=
⇒ (02 + 2×0)
⇒ 0 ...(1)
RHL = f(0) + =
⇒ 4(0) + 1
⇒ 1 ...(2)
From (1) & (2),we get f(0)–=f(0) + ,
Hence f(x) is not continuous at x = 0
we also have to find out the continuity at point
For f(x) is be continuous at x = 1,
then ,f(0)–=f(0) + =f(0)
LHL = f(1) + =
⇒ (02–1)
⇒ – ...(1)
RHL = f(1) + =
⇒ (5 + 4×0)
⇒ 5 ...(2)
From (1) & (2),we get f(0)– = f(0) + ,
i.e, – = 5
⇒ = –5
Hence f(x) is continuous at x = 1,when = –5
Similarly, For f(x) is be continuous at x = –1,
then ,f(–1)–=f(–1) + =f(–1)
LHL = f(–1)–=
⇒ –(02 + 4×0 + 3)
⇒ –3 ...(3)
RHL = f(–1) + =
⇒ (–3 + 4×0)
⇒ –3 ...(2)
From (1) & (2),we get, f(–1)–=f(–1) +
i.e, –3 = –3
⇒ = 1
Hence f(x) is continuous at x = 1,when = 1
