Given 
Iff (x) is differentiable at x = 1, then the value of |a – b|is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
3
3
f(1 - ) = 1 = f(1) and f(1 + ) = a + b
For continuity at x = 1, a + b = 1 ......(i)
In 0 < x < 1, f’(x) = 2xe 2(x- x) + 2x 2 e 2(x- x)

In 1< x < 2, f’(x) = - 2a sin (2x - 2) + 2bx
f'(l + ) = 2b
For differentiability at x = 1, 2b = 4 . This with (i) gives the values a = - 1, b = 2
then |b - a| = 3
