Question
(a) Find the values of a and b that make f continuous everywhere:
x2 -4
-
if x < 2
ax? – bx + 3, if 2 <x < 3
if x > 3
x-2
f(x) =
2л — а + b,
(b) Find lim, Vx2 + ax – Vx? + bx
(c) A particle is moving along the curve whose equation is
xys
1+ y?
8.
5
Assume that the x-coordinate is decreasing at the rate of 5 units/s when the particle
is at the point (2, 1). (i) At what rate is the y-coordinate of the point changing at that
instant? (ii) Is the particle rising or falling at that instant?
