Let f(x) = ax + b (where a and b are unknown) = x2 + 5 for x ∈ RFind the values of a and b, so that f(x) is continuous at x = 1.

Answer»

f(x) = x2 + 5, x ∈ R 

∴ f(1) = 1 + 5 = 6 

If f(x) = ax + b is continuous at x = 1, then 

f(1) = \(\lim\limits_{x\to1}(ax+b) =a +b\) 

∴ 6 = a + b where, a, b ∈ R 

∴ There are infinitely many values of a and b.
