JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2015 (Offline) - No. 1)

If the function.

$$g\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {k\sqrt {x + 1} ,} & {0 \le x \le 3} \cr {m\,x + 2,} & {3 < x \le 5} \cr } } \right.$$

is differentiable, then the value of $$k+m$$ is :
$${{10} \over 3}$$
$$4$$
$$2$$
$${{16} \over 5}$$

Explanation

Since $$g(x)$$ is differentiable, -

it will be continuous at $$x=3$$

$$\therefore$$ $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ - }} g\left( x \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ + }} g\left( x \right)$$

$$2k = 3m + 2\,\,\,\,\,...\left( 1 \right)$$

Also $$g(x)$$ is differentiable at $$x=0$$

$$\therefore$$ $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ - }} g'\left( x \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ + }} g'\left( x \right)$$

$${K \over {2\sqrt {3 + 1} }} = m$$

$$k=4m$$ $$\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...\left( 2 \right)$$

Solving $$(1)$$ and $$(2)$$, we get

$$m = {2 \over 5},\,\,k = {8 \over 5}$$

$$\therefore$$ $$k+m=2$$
