\(f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}\frac{x-4}{|x-4|}+a, & x < 4 \\ a+b, & x=4 \\ \frac{x-4}{|x-4|}+b, & x>4\end{array}\right.\)
If \(f(x)\) given above is continuous at \(x=4\), then find the values of ' \(a\) ' and ' \(b\) '.
- A \(a=1, b=-1\)
- B \(a=-1, b=1\)
- C \(a=1, b=1\)
- D \(a=-1, b=-1\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(a=1, b=-1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given function \(\begin{aligned} f(x) & =\left[\begin{array}{cc} \frac{x-4}{|x-4|}+a, & x 4 \end{array}\right. \\ & =\left[\begin{array}{cl} -1+a, & x 4 \end{array}\right. \end{aligned}\) \(\because\) Function \(f\) is continuous at \(x=4\), so LHL (at \(x=4)=f(4)=\) RHL (at…
