Let the function, \(f(x)\) = \(\begin{cases} -3ax^2 - 2, & x < 1 \\a^2 + bx, & x \geq 1 \end{cases}\) Be differentiable for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \), where \( a > 1 \), \( b \in \mathbb{R} \). If the area of the region enclosed by \( y = f(x) \) and the line \( y = -20 \) is \( \alpha + \beta\sqrt{3} \), where \( \alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{Z} \), then the value of \( \alpha + \beta \) is:
Nature of compounds TeO₂ and TeH₂ is___________ and ______________respectively.
Consider the following sequence of reactions : 
Molar mass of the product formed (A) is ______ g mol\(^{-1}\).
The magnitude of heat exchanged by a system for the given cyclic process ABC (as shown in the figure) is (in SI units):

A function is said to be continuous at a point x = a, if
limx→a
f(x) Exists, and
limx→a
f(x) = f(a)
It implies that if the left hand limit (L.H.L), right hand limit (R.H.L) and the value of the function at x=a exists and these parameters are equal to each other, then the function f is said to be continuous at x=a.
If the function is undefined or does not exist, then we say that the function is discontinuous.
Conditions for continuity of a function: For any function to be continuous, it must meet the following conditions:
