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+b2) is
[Here, sgn(k) denotes signum function of k]

Solution

f(1)=limx1sin(ax2+bx+c)(x21)
Applying L'Hospital Rule
f(1)=limx1cos(ax2+bx+c)×(2ax+b)2x
=(2a+b)2 as a+b+c=π

f(1+)=limx1+a sgn(x+1)cos(2x2)+bx2 =a+b
And f(1)=1

Since, f(x) is continuous at x=1,
f(1)=f(1+)=f(1)
(2a+b)2=a+b=1
a=3, b=4
a2+b2=(3)2+(4)2=25
