The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to ensure that the function \( f(x) \) is both continuous and differentiable at the point \( x = 1 \). The function is defined as follows: \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2 + 3x + a & \text{if } x \leq 1 \\ bx + 2 & \text{if } x > 1 \end{cases} \] ### Step 1: Ensure Continuity at \( x = 1 \) For \( f(x) \) to be continuous at \( x = 1 \), the left-hand limit as \( x \) approaches 1 must equal the right-hand limit at \( x = 1 \): 1. **Left-hand limit**: \[ \lim_{x \to 1^-} f(x) = 1^2 + 3(1) + a = 1 + 3 + a = 4 + a \] 2. **Right-hand limit**: \[ \lim_{x \to 1^+} f(x) = b(1) + 2 = b + 2 \] Setting the left-hand limit equal to the right-hand limit for continuity: \[ 4 + a = b + 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ a - b = -2 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 2: Ensure Differentiability at \( x = 1 \) For \( f(x) \) to be differentiable at \( x = 1 \), the derivative from the left must equal the derivative from the right: 1. **Derivative for \( x \leq 1 \)**: \[ f'(x) = 2x + 3 \quad \text{(for } x \leq 1\text{)} \] Evaluating at \( x = 1 \): \[ f'(1) = 2(1) + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5 \] 2. **Derivative for \( x > 1 \)**: \[ f'(x) = b \quad \text{(for } x > 1\text{)} \] Thus, at \( x = 1 \): \[ f'(1) = b \] Setting the left-hand derivative equal to the right-hand derivative: \[ 5 = b \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 3: Solve the Equations Now we have two equations: 1. \( a - b = -2 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( b = 5 \) (Equation 2) Substituting the value of \( b \) from Equation 2 into Equation 1: \[ a - 5 = -2 \] Solving for \( a \): \[ a = -2 + 5 = 3 \] ### Final Values Thus, the values of \( a \) and \( b \) are: \[ a = 3, \quad b = 5 \] ### Summary The final answer is: \[ \boxed{a = 3 \text{ and } b = 5} \]
