Define \(f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}x^2+b x+c, & x < 1 \\ x, & x \geq 1\end{array}\right.\). If \(f(x)\) is differentiable at \(x=1\), then \((b-c)\) is equal to

  1. A \(-2\)
  2. B \(0\)
  3. C \(1\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given function, \(\begin{aligned} & f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} x^2+b x+c, & x < 1 \\ x, & x \geq 1 \end{array}\right. \\ & f^{\prime}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} 2 x+b, & x < 1 \\ 1, & x \geq 1 \end{array}\right. \end{aligned}\) Since, \(f(x)\) is differentiable at \(x=1\).…
