Question 47

MediumOriginal question

For which value of kk is f(x)={kx+3,x≤πcos⁡x,x>πf(x) = \begin{cases} kx + 3, & x \le \pi \\ \cos x, & x > \pi \end{cases} continuous at x=πx = \pi?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. The pieces must meet at x=πx = \pi: kπ+3=cos⁡π=−1k\pi + 3 = \cos \pi = -1.

  2. So kπ=−4k\pi = -4 and k=−4πk = -\frac{4}{\pi}.

Worth noting

−2π-\frac{2}{\pi} takes cos⁡π\cos \pi as 1; it is −1-1.
