  1. Question 1 (case study, 2 parts)

    Limits & Continuity. Asked once: NDA 1 2026

    For the next two (02) items that follow: Let f(x)={ax(x−1),x<1x−1,1≤x≤3px2+qx+2,x>3f(x)=\begin{cases}ax(x-1), & x<1\\ x-1, & 1\leq x\leq3\\ px^2+qx+2, & x>3\end{cases}. Given that f(x)f(x) is continuous for all x but not differentiable at x=1. Further f′(x)f'(x) is continuous at x=3.
