A function f (x) is defined as f (x) = ⎩⎨⎧x21−cos4x;xa;x=0xx2;xlt;0gt;0
If the function f(x) is continuous at x = 0, then the value of a is:
Explanation
The function is continuous at x=0
limx→0f(x) =limr→0+f(x)=f(a)
limx→0−f(x)=limx→0−x21−cos4x
limx→0−(2x)22sin22x.4 = 8
amp;x→0+limf(x)=x→0+limf(x)16+x−4xamp;x→0+limf(x)16+x+4amp;=8amp;Sof(a)=8amp;Soa=8
