14. f ( x) = x + 2
f (x) =x+2 if
x>-2
f(x) =0
x=-2
if
f(x)=-(x+2) if x<-2
For continuity
Case(i)
When c>-2
lim x →c = lim x →c ( x + 2) = c + 2 = f (c)
∴ f ( x)is continuous for all c > -2
Case(ii)
When c <- 2 then
lim x →c f ( x) = lim x →c − ( x + 2) = −(c + 2) = f (c)
∴ f(x) is continuous for all c <- 2
Case(iii)
When c=-2
lim x →−2+ f ( x) = lim h→0 f (−2 + h) = lim h→0 (−2 + h + 2) = 0
lim x →−2− f ( x) = lim h→0 f (−2 − h) = lim h→0 − (−2 − h + 2) = 0
∴ lim x →−2 f ( x) = f (−2)
∴ f ( x)is continuous at x=-2
∴ f ( x)is continuous for all x ∈ R

OR
f(x)= x 2 + 2 x + 3 for [ 4, 6]
⇒ f ` ( x) = 2 x + 2
 F(x) is a polynomial function
∴ f(x) is continuous for x ∈ [4,6] and differentiabl for x ∈ (4,6)
Now ∃x = c ∈ (4,6) s.t.
f ` (c ) =
f (b) − f (a )

Let she invests Rs. x in saving certificates and Rs. y in National saving bonds
Then LPPis
To maximize Z=0.08x+0.1y
Subject to constraints
x ≥ 2000, y ≥ 4000, x + y ≤ 12000
corner points of feasible region ABC are A(2000,4000), B(8000,4000),c(2000,10000)
at A, Z=160+400=560
at B, Z=640+400=1040
at C,Z=160+1000=1160
thus Rs. 2000 should be invested in saving certificates and Rs.10000 in National saving
bonds. Maximum yearly income is Rs. 1160.
