The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to ensure that the function \( f(x) \) is continuous everywhere and then find the values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) such that the function is also differentiable at the points of interest. ### Step 1: Check continuity at \( x = 0 \) The function is defined as follows: - For \( x < 0 \): \( f(x) = \frac{a - b \cos(2x)}{x^2} \) - For \( 0 \leq x \leq 1 \): \( f(x) = x^2 + cx + 2 \) - For \( x > 1 \): \( f(x) = 2x + 1 \) To check continuity at \( x = 0 \), we need to ensure: \[ \lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = f(0) = \lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x) \] **Left-hand limit**: \[ \lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^-} \frac{a - b \cos(2x)}{x^2} \] Using L'Hôpital's Rule since it is of the form \( \frac{0}{0} \): \[ = \lim_{x \to 0^-} \frac{2b \sin(2x)}{2x} = \lim_{x \to 0^-} \frac{b \sin(2x)}{x} = b \cdot 2 \quad (\text{since } \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin(2x)}{x} = 2) \] Thus, the left-hand limit is \( 2b \). **Right-hand limit**: \[ f(0) = f(0) = 0^2 + c \cdot 0 + 2 = 2 \] Setting the left-hand limit equal to the right-hand limit: \[ 2b = 2 \implies b = 1 \] ### Step 2: Check continuity at \( x = 1 \) Next, we check continuity at \( x = 1 \): \[ \lim_{x \to 1^-} f(x) = f(1) = \lim_{x \to 1^+} f(x) \] **Left-hand limit**: \[ \lim_{x \to 1^-} f(x) = 1^2 + c \cdot 1 + 2 = 1 + c + 2 = c + 3 \] **Right-hand limit**: \[ f(1) = 2 \cdot 1 + 1 = 3 \] Setting the left-hand limit equal to the right-hand limit: \[ c + 3 = 3 \implies c = 0 \] ### Step 3: Find \( a \) From the continuity condition at \( x = 0 \), we already found \( b = 1 \). Now we need to find \( a \). Using the left-hand limit: \[ \lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = 2b = 2 \cdot 1 = 2 \] So, we set: \[ \lim_{x \to 0^-} f(x) = \frac{a - 1}{0} \text{ (as } \cos(0) = 1 \text{)} \implies a - 1 = 2 \implies a = 3 \] ### Step 4: Check differentiability Now we need to check differentiability at \( x = 0 \) and \( x = 1 \). **At \( x = 0 \)**: The left-hand derivative: \[ \lim_{x \to 0^-} f'(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^-} \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{3 - \cos(2x)}{x^2} \right) = \text{Apply L'Hôpital's Rule again} \] Using the derivative: \[ = \lim_{x \to 0^-} \frac{2\sin(2x)}{2x} = 1 \] The right-hand derivative: \[ \lim_{x \to 0^+} f'(x) = \lim_{x \to 0^+} (2x + 0) = 0 \] Since the left-hand and right-hand derivatives at \( x = 0 \) are not equal, \( f(x) \) is not differentiable at \( x = 0 \). **At \( x = 1 \)**: Both left-hand and right-hand derivatives will yield the same result since they are both linear functions. ### Conclusion The only point where \( f(x) \) is not differentiable is at \( x = 0 \), so \( m = 1 \). Now we can calculate: \[ m + a + b + c = 1 + 3 + 1 + 0 = 5 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final result is: \[ \boxed{5} \]
