Question 37

MediumOriginal question

For which value of kk is f(x)={kx2,x≤23x+4,x>2f(x) = \begin{cases} kx^{2}, & x \le 2 \\ 3x + 4, & x > 2 \end{cases} continuous at x=2x = 2?

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. The pieces must meet at x=2x = 2: 4k=104 k = 10.

  2. So k=52k = \frac{5}{2}.

Worth noting

5 sets 2k=102k = 10, forgetting that x2x^{2} is 4 at x=2x = 2.
