If $f(x)=\begin{cases} x+a, & x \leq 0 \\ |x-4|, & x\gt0\end{cases}$ and
$g(x)= \begin{cases}x+1 & , x\lt0 \\ (x-4)^2+b, & x \geq 0\end{cases}$
are continuous on $R$, then $(gof) (2)+(fog)(-2)$ is equal to:
$g(x)= \begin{cases}x+1 & , x\lt0 \\ (x-4)^2+b, & x \geq 0\end{cases}$
are continuous on $R$, then $(gof) (2)+(fog)(-2)$ is equal to:
- -10
- 10
- 8
- -8
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
\(f(x)=\begin{cases} x+a, & x \leq 0 \\ |x-4|, & x\gt0\end{cases}\)
\(g(x)= \begin{cases}x+1 & , x\lt0 \\ (x-4)^2+b, & x \geq 0\end{cases}\)
For continuity \(a = 4\) and \(b = –15 \)
\(g(f(2)) + f(g(-2)) = g(2) + f(-1) = -8\)
The correct option is (D): -8

Continuity & Differentiability
Definition of Differentiability
f(x) is said to be differentiable at the point x = a, if the derivative f ‘(a) be at every point in its domain. It is given by
Definition of Continuity
Mathematically, a function is said to be continuous at a point x = a, if
It is implicit that if the left-hand limit (L.H.L), right-hand limit (R.H.L), and the value of the function at x=a exist and these parameters are equal to each other, then the function f is said to be continuous at x=a.
If the function is unspecified or does not exist, then we say that the function is discontinuous.
