If \(f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}x^2+3 x+a, & x \leq 1 \\ b x+2, & x\gt1\end{array}, x \in \mathbb{R}\right.\), is everywhere differentiable, then

  1. A \(a=3, b=5\)
  2. B \(a=0, b=5\)
  3. C \(a=0, b=3\)
  4. D \(a=b=3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(a=3, b=5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{LHL}=\mathrm{RHL} \Rightarrow 4+\mathrm{a}=\mathrm{b}+2 \\ & \mathrm{LHD}=\mathrm{RHD} \Rightarrow \mathrm{b}=5 \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}=3\end{aligned}\)
