Let $f(x) = \begin{cases} 2 - |x^2 + 5x + 6|, & x \neq -2 \\ a^2 + 1, & x = -2 \end{cases}$. Then the range of $a$ such that $f(x)$ has a maximum at $x = -2$ is

In order that the function $f(x) = (x + 1)^{1/x}$ is continuous at $x = 0$,$f(0)$ must be defined as

If $f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{8^x - 4^x - 2^x + 1}{x^2} & , \text{if } x > 0 \\ e^x \sin x + kx + \lambda \log 4 & , \text{if } x \le 0 \end{cases}$ is continuous at $x = 0$,then the value of $500 e^\lambda$ is

Discuss the continuity of the $cosine, cosecant, secant$ and $cotangent$ functions.

Let $f(x) = \begin{cases} 0, & \text{if } -1 \leq x < 0 \\ 1, & \text{if } x = 0 \\ 2, & \text{if } 0 < x \leq 1 \end{cases}$ and let $F(x) = \int_{-1}^{x} f(t) \, dt, -1 \leq x \leq 1$. Then:

The values of $A$ and $B$ such that the function $f(x) = \begin{cases} -2\sin x, & x \le -\frac{\pi}{2} \\ A\sin x + B, & -\frac{\pi}{2} < x < \frac{\pi}{2} \\ \cos x, & x \ge \frac{\pi}{2} \end{cases}$ is continuous everywhere are
