  • Find the relationship between a and b so that the function f defined by f x = ax+ 1 if x < 3 bx + 3 if x >3 ​​​​​​​ is continuous at x = 3.

17. Find the relationship between a and b so that the function f defined by
f (x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} ax +1 , &if x < 3 \\ bx +3 & if x > 3 \end{matrix}\right.

Given function is
f (x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} ax +1 , &if x < 3 \\ bx +3 & if x > 3 \end{matrix}\right.
For the function to be continuous at x = 3 , R.H.L. must be equal to L.H.L.
\lim_{x\rightarrow 3^-}f(x)= ax + 1 = 3a+1\\ \lim_{x\rightarrow 3^+}f(x) = bx+3=3b+3
For the function to be continuous
\lim_{x\rightarrow 3^-}f(x) = \lim_{x\rightarrow 3^+}f(x) \\ 3a + 1= 3b+3\\ 3(a-b)=2\\ a-b = \frac{2}{3}\\ a = b+\frac{2}{3}
