Find k so that \[\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} \frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}-2 \mathrm{x}-3}{\mathrm{x}+1}, & \mathrm{x} \neq-1 \\ k, & \mathrm{x}=-1 \end{array}\right. \] is continuous at $\displaystyle \mathrm{x}=-1$.
Check the differentiability of function $\displaystyle \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{x}|\mathrm{x}|$ at $\displaystyle \mathrm{x}=0$.
Marking-scheme solution
(a)
For continuity at $\displaystyle \mathrm{x}=-1$, $\displaystyle k=\lim_{\mathrm{x}\to-1}\frac{\mathrm{x}^2-2\mathrm{x}-3}{\mathrm{x}+1}=\lim_{\mathrm{x}\to-1}\frac{(\mathrm{x}-3)(\mathrm{x}+1)}{\mathrm{x}+1}=\lim_{\mathrm{x}\to-1}(\mathrm{x}-3)=-4$. Hence $\displaystyle \boxed{k=-4}$.
