Continuity and Differentiability

Question:

If $f(x)\left\{\begin{matrix}ax^2+b:&x≤0\\x^2:&x>0\end{matrix}\right.$ possesses derivative at x = 0, then:

Options:

a = 0, b = 0

a > 0, b = 0

a ∈ R, b = 0

None of these

Correct Answer:

None of these

Explanation:

$\underset{x→0^+}{\lim}f(x)=\underset{x→0^-}{\lim}f(x)$

$⇒ b = 0$

$\underset{x→0^+}{\lim}f'(x)=\underset{x→0^-}{\lim}f'(x)$

so $2x =2ax$

$⇒ a = 1$

$a=1,b=0$
