Let a function f:RR be defined as, fx=sinxex if x0a+-x if 0<x<12xb if  x1

Where x is the greatest integer less than or equal to x. If f is continuous on R, then a+b is equal to:

The correct answer is: 3

We have,

fx=sinxex if  x0a+-x if  0<x<12xb if  x1

If fx is continuous at x=a then limxa-fx=fa=limxa+fx.

Continuous at x=0

f0+=f0-

 a-1=0-e0

 a=0

Continuous at x=1

f1+=f1-

  21-b=a+-1

  b=2-a+1

 b=3

  a+b=3
