The correct Answer is:
To find the values of \( a \) and \( b \) such that the function \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2 + 3x + a & \text{if } x \leq 1 \\ bx + 2 & \text{if } x > 1 \end{cases} \] is differentiable at \( x = 1 \), we need to ensure that the function is continuous and that the derivatives from both sides at \( x = 1 \) are equal. ### Step 1: Ensure Continuity at \( x = 1 \) For \( f(x) \) to be continuous at \( x = 1 \), we need: \[ f(1^-) = f(1^+) \] Calculating \( f(1^-) \): \[ f(1^-) = 1^2 + 3(1) + a = 1 + 3 + a = 4 + a \] Calculating \( f(1^+) \): \[ f(1^+) = b(1) + 2 = b + 2 \] Setting these equal for continuity: \[ 4 + a = b + 2 \] Rearranging gives us: \[ b - a = 2 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 2: Ensure Differentiability at \( x = 1 \) For \( f(x) \) to be differentiable at \( x = 1 \), we need: \[ f'(1^-) = f'(1^+) \] Calculating \( f'(1^-) \): The derivative of \( f(x) = x^2 + 3x + a \) is: \[ f'(x) = 2x + 3 \] Thus, \[ f'(1^-) = 2(1) + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5 \] Calculating \( f'(1^+) \): The derivative of \( f(x) = bx + 2 \) is: \[ f'(x) = b \] Thus, \[ f'(1^+) = b \] Setting these equal for differentiability: \[ 5 = b \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 3: Solve the Equations From Equation 2, we have: \[ b = 5 \] Substituting \( b = 5 \) into Equation 1: \[ 5 - a = 2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ a = 5 - 2 = 3 \] ### Final Values Thus, the values of \( a \) and \( b \) are: \[ a = 3, \quad b = 5 \] ### Summary The values of \( a \) and \( b \) such that the function is differentiable at \( x = 1 \) are: \[ \boxed{a = 3, b = 5} \]

To find the values of \( a \) and \( b \) such that the function \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2 + 3x + a & \text{if } x \leq 1 \\ bx + 2 & \text{if } x > 1 \end{cases} ...
