differentiation 1

let f(x)=x2-1,x≤1
nd f(x)=k(x-1),x>1
then
a)f is continuous for only finitely many values of k
b)f is discontinuous at x=1
c)f is differentiable only when k=2
d)there r infinitely many values of k for which f is differentiable

dear this one is simple.. sort of...

The limit of both when approaching 1 is 0..

i mean LH for the 1st term and RH limit for 2nd term..

so a and b are eliminated.

now derivative on the LH derivative is 2x (prove!)

RH derivative is k

for this function to be differentiable

LH Derivative = RH derivative

so k=2!
