Let f:R→R be a function given by f(x)={1-cos2xx2,x<0α,x=0,β1-cosxx,x>0
where α,β∈R. If f is continuous at x=0, then α2+β2 is equal to [2024]
(3)
f(x)={1-cos2xx2,x<0α,x=0,β1-cosxx,x>0
f(x) is continuous at x=0
⇒f(0)=limx→0-f(x)=limx→0+f(x)
Now, limx→0-f(x)=f(0)
∴ limx→0-f(x)=α⇒limx→0-(1-cos2xx2)=α
⇒limx→0-2sin2xx2=α⇒limh→02sin2hh2=α⇒α=2
Also, limx→0+f(x)=f(0)
⇒limx→0+β1-cosxx=2⇒limh→0β1-coshh=2
⇒limh→0β2sinh2h=2⇒limh→0β2sinh22×h2=2
⇒β2=2⇒β=22
Hence, α2+β2=4+8=12
