Question 52

HardOriginal question

For which value of kk is f(x)={3x−k,x<4k2x,x≥4f(x) = \begin{cases} 3x - k, & x < 4 \\ \frac{k}{2}x, & x \ge 4 \end{cases} continuous at x=4x = 4?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. The pieces must meet at x=4x = 4: 12−k=2k12 - k = 2 k.

  2. So k=4k = 4.

Worth noting

12 sets 3×4=k3 \times 4 = k, leaving out the −k-k on the left.
