Q.

Let [t] denote the greatest integer less than or equal to t. If the function

f(x)={b2sin(π2[π2(cosx+sinx)cosx]),x<0sinx-12sin2xx3,x>0a,x=0

is continuous at x=0, then a2+b2 is equal to                           [2026]

1 916  
2 12  
3 58  
4 34  

Ans.

(4)

f(0)=a

RHL=limx0+sinx(1-cosx)x3=12

LHL=limx0-(b2sinπ2[π2(sinx+cosx)cosx])=b2

  a=12,  b2=12

so (a2+b2)=14+12=34
