The values of ' \(a\) ' and ' \(b\) ' such that the function defined by is a continuous function :
\(f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}3 & x \leq 5 \\ a x+b & 5 < x \leq 15 \\ 18 & x > 15\end{array}\right.\)

  1. A \(a=2, b=1\)
  2. B \(a=\frac{3}{2}, b=\frac{-9}{2}\)
  3. C \(a=\frac{3}{2}, b=\frac{9}{2}\)
  4. D \(a=\frac{-3}{2}, b=\frac{9}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(a=\frac{3}{2}, b=\frac{-9}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(5a + b = 3\) \(15a + b = 18\) \((15a + b) - (5a + b) = 18 - 3 \Rightarrow 10a = 15 \Rightarrow a = \frac{3}{2}\) \(5\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) + b = 3 \Rightarrow \frac{15}{2} + b = 3 \Rightarrow b = 3 - \frac{15}{2} = \frac{6-15}{2} = \frac{-9}{2}\)…
