MCQ
If $f(x) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{e^x} + ax,}&{x < 0}\\{b{{(x - 1)}^2},}&{x \ge 0}\end{array}} \right.$ is differentiable at $x = 0,$ then $(a,\,b)$ is
  • A
    $( - 3,\, - 1)$
  • $( - 3,\,\,1)$
  • C
    $(3,\,\,1)$
  • D
    $(3,\, - 1)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$( - 3,\,\,1)$
(b)
Given $f(x)$ is differentiable at $x = 0$.Hence, $f(x)$ will be continuous at $x = 0$.
$\mathop {{\rm{lim}}}\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} ({e^x} + ax) = \mathop {{\rm{lim}}}\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} b{(x - 1)^2}$
$\Rightarrow {e^0} + a \times 0 = b{(0 - 1)^2}$
$\Rightarrow b = 1$….. $(i)$
But $f(x)$ is differentiable at $x = 0$, then
$Lf'(x) = Rf'(x)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d}{{dx}}({e^x} + ax) = \frac{d}{{dx}}b{(x - 1)^2}$
$\Rightarrow {e^x} + a = 2b(x - 1)$

At $x = 0,$
$\Rightarrow {e^0} + a = - 2b$ 
$\Rightarrow a + 1 = - 2b$
$\Rightarrow a = - 3$
$\Rightarrow (a,\,\,b) = ( - 3,\,\,1)$.
