Suppose $f(x) = \begin{cases} a + bx, & x < 1 \\ 4, & x = 1 \\ b - ax, & x > 1 \end{cases}$ and if $\lim_{x \to 1} f(x) = f(1)$,what are the possible values of $a$ and $b$?

If the function $f$ defined on $\left(-\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{3}\right)$ by $f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{x} \log_{e}\left(\frac{1+3x}{1-2x}\right) & x \neq 0 \\ k & x = 0 \end{cases}$ is continuous,then $k$ is equal to

The number of points of discontinuity of the function $f(x) = [\frac{x^2}{2}] - [\sqrt{x}]$ for $x \in [0, 4]$,where $[\cdot]$ denotes the greatest integer function,is . . . . . . .

Consider $f(x) = \left[ \frac{2(\sin x - \sin^3 x) + |\sin x - \sin^3 x|}{2(\sin x - \sin^3 x) - |\sin x - \sin^3 x|} \right]$ for $x \in (0, \pi), x \neq \frac{\pi}{2}$,and $f(\frac{\pi}{2}) = 3$,where $[ \cdot ]$ denotes the greatest integer function. Then:

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

If $f(x) = |x - 2|$,then
