1
and if
lim

Solution
We have,
f
(
x
)
=
⎧
⎨
⎩
a
+
b
x
,
x
<
1
4
,
x
=
1
b
−
a
x
x
>
1
lim
x

−
f
(
x
)
=
lim
x
→
1
(
a
+
b
x
)
=
a
+
b
lim
x
→
1
+
f
(
x
)
=
lim
x
→
1
(
b
−
a
x
)
=
b
−
a
Also
f
(
1
)
=
4
It is given that
lim
x
→
1
f
(
x
)
=
f
(
1
)
⋅
∴
lim
x
→
1
−
f
(
x
)
=
lim
x
→
1
+
f
(
x
)
=
lim
x
→
1
f
(
x
)
=
f
(
1
)
⇒
a
+
b
=
4
and
b
−
a
=
4
Solving these two equations we obtain
a
=
0
and
b
=
4
