Question

Let a,b,cR such that a+b+c=π.
If f(x)=⎪ ⎪ ⎪⎪ ⎪ ⎪sin(ax2+bx+c)x21,if x<11,if x=1a sgn(x+1)cos(2x2)+bx2,if 1<x2
is continuous at x=1, then the value of a2+b25 is
( Here, sgn(k) denotes signum function of k )

Solution

f(1+)=a+b; f(1)=1
f(1)=limx1sin(ax2+bx+c)x21 [00] form
Applying L' Hopitals' rule, we get
f(1)=limx1(2ax+b)cos(ax2+bx+c)2x
=(2a+b)cos(a+b+c)2
=(2a+b2)

f(x) is continuous at x=1
So, f(1+)=f(1)=f(1)
a+b=(2a+b2)=1
a=3 and b=4
