Let f:R→R be defined as
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{a-b \cos 2 x}{x^2} & ; & x<0 \\ x^2+c x+2 & ; & 0 \leq x \leq 1 \\ 2 x+1 & ; & x>1\end{array}\right.$
If f is continuous everywhere in R and m is the number of points where f is NOT differential then m+a+b+c equals :

Solution
At $x=1, f(x)$ is continuous therefore,
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{f}\left(1^{-}\right)=\mathrm{f}(1)=\mathrm{f}\left(1^{+}\right) \\
& \mathrm{f}(1)=3+\mathrm{c} \\
& f\left(1^{+}\right)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} 2(1+h)+1 \\
& f\left(1^{+}\right)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} 3+2 h=3
\end{aligned}
$$
from (1) \& (2)
$$
\mathrm{c}=0
$$
at $x=0, f(x)$ is continuous therefore,
$$
\begin{aligned}
& f\left(0^{-}\right)=f(0)=f\left(0^{+}\right) \\
& f(0)=f\left(0^{+}\right)=2
\end{aligned}
$$
$\mathrm{f}\left(0^{-}\right)$has to be equal to 2
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{a-b \cos (2 h)}{h^2} \\
& \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{a-b\left\{1-\frac{4 h^2}{2!}+\frac{16 h^4}{4!}+\cdots\right\}}{h^2} \\
& \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{a-b+b\left\{2 h^2-\frac{2}{3} h^4 \ldots\right\}}{h^2}
\end{aligned}
$$
for limit to exist $\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{b}=0$ and limit is 2 b
from (3), (4) \& (5)
$$
a=b=1
$$
checking differentiability at $\mathrm{x}=0$
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { LHD: } \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\frac{1-\cos 2 h}{h^2}-2}{-h} \\
& \lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{1-\left(1-\frac{4 h^2}{2!}+\frac{16 h^4}{4!} \ldots\right)-2 h^2}{-h^3}=0
\end{aligned}
$$
RHD: $\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(0+h)^2+2-2}{h}=0$
Function is differentiable at every point in its domain $\therefore \mathrm{m}=0$
$$
m+a+b+c=0+1+1+0=2
