  • For what value of l is the function defined by f x = lambda x ^ 2 minus 2x 4x + 1 continuous at x = 0? What about continuity at x = 1?

18. For what value of l is the function defined by
f (x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} \lambda (x^2 -2x) & if x \leq 0 \\ 4x+1 & if x > 0 \end{matrix}\right.
continuous at x = 0? What about continuity at x = 1?

Given function is
f (x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} \lambda (x^2 -2x) & if x \leq 0 \\ 4x+1 & if x > 0 \end{matrix}\right.
For the function to be continuous at x = 0 , R.H.L. must be equal to L.H.L.
\lim_{x\rightarrow 0^-}f(x) = \lambda (x^2-2x) = 0\\ \lim_{x\rightarrow 0^+}f(x) = 4x+1=1
For the function to be continuous
\lim_{x\rightarrow 0^-}f(x) = \lim_{x\rightarrow 0^+}f(x) \\ 0\neq 1
Hence, for no value of function is continuous at x = 0

For x  = 1 
f(1)=4x+1=4(1)+1=5\\ \lim_{x\rightarrow 1}f(x) =4+1=5 \\\ \lim_{x\rightarrow 1}f(x) = f(x)
Hence, given function is continuous at x =1
