\(g(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\frac{\alpha x}{|x|}, & x<0 \\ 5, & x \geq 0\end{array}\right.\) is continuous at \(x=0\), then the value of \(\alpha\) is

  1. A \(0\)
  2. B 5
  3. C \(-5\)
  4. D any real number
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For continuity at \(x=0\), \(\lim_{x \to 0^-} g(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^+} g(x) = g(0)\). \(g(0) = 5\). \(\lim_{x \to 0^-} g(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^-} \frac{\alpha x}{|x|} = \lim_{x \to 0^-} \frac{\alpha x}{-x} = -\alpha\). \(\lim_{x \to 0^+} g(x) = 5\).…
