The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to ensure that the limits of the piecewise function \( f(x) \) exist at \( x = 0 \) and \( x = 1 \). We will analyze both limits step by step. ### Step 1: Finding the limit as \( x \) approaches 0 We need to check the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit at \( x = 0 \): 1. **Left-hand limit**: \[ \lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^-} (mx^2 + x + n) = m(0)^2 + 0 + n = n \] 2. **Right-hand limit**: \[ \lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^+} (nx + m) = n(0) + m = m \] For the limit to exist at \( x = 0 \), these two limits must be equal: \[ n = m \quad \text{(Relation 1)} \] ### Step 2: Finding the limit as \( x \) approaches 1 Next, we check the limits at \( x = 1 \): 1. **Left-hand limit**: \[ \lim_{x \to 1^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 1^-} (nx + m) = n(1) + m = n + m \] 2. **Right-hand limit**: \[ \lim_{x \to 1^+} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 1^+} (2nx^3 + x^2 - 2x + m) = 2n(1)^3 + (1)^2 - 2(1) + m = 2n + 1 - 2 + m = 2n + m - 1 \] For the limit to exist at \( x = 1 \), these two limits must also be equal: \[ n + m = 2n + m - 1 \] ### Step 3: Solving the equation Now we simplify the equation: \[ n + m = 2n + m - 1 \] Subtract \( m \) from both sides: \[ n = 2n - 1 \] Rearranging gives: \[ n - 2n = -1 \implies -n = -1 \implies n = 1 \] ### Step 4: Finding \( m \) Using Relation 1 (\( n = m \)): \[ m = n = 1 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the values of \( n \) and \( m \) are: \[ n = 1, \quad m = 1 \]
