Let a, b R, (a 0). If the function f defined as is continuous in the interval [0, ), then an ordered pair ( a, b) is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
-
For continuity of the piecewise function on , we only need to check the junction points:
since each piece is continuous on its own interval.
-
The function is
\begin{cases} \dfrac{2x^2}{a}, & 0\le x<1 \\ a, & 1\le x<\sqrt{2} \\ \dfrac{2b^2-4b}{x^3}, & \sqrt{2}\le x<\infty \end{cases}$$ with $a\ne 0$. -
Continuity at :
Left-hand limit at :
Value at from the second piece:
For continuity,
-
Continuity at :
Left-hand limit from the second piece:
Value at from the third piece:
Now, so
For continuity,
-
Use the two possible values of .
Case 1:
Multiply by :
Among the options, with we have:
- , and note
So only matches option A.
Case 2:
Multiply by :
Discriminant: So there is no real value of .
-
Therefore the real ordered pairs satisfying continuity are obtained from
From the given options, only appears.
-
Check options:
- A: ✅
- B: gives no real ❌
- C: , which does not satisfy ❌
- D: gives no real ❌
Hence the correct option is A.
