suppose f(x)= { ((a+bx,  x<1)),((4,       x=1)),((b−ax,  x>1)) :} and  if lim_(x→1)  f(x)=f(1) what are possible  values of a and b?
$${suppose}\:{f}\left({x}\right)=\begin{cases}{{a}+{bx},\:\:{x}<\mathrm{1}}\\{\mathrm{4},\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{x}=\mathrm{1}}\\{{b}−{ax},\:\:{x}>\mathrm{1}}\end{cases}\:{and} \\ $$$${if}\:\underset{{x}\rightarrow\mathrm{1}} {\mathrm{lim}}\:{f}\left({x}\right)={f}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\:{what}\:{are}\:{possible} \\ $$$${values}\:{of}\:{a}\:{and}\:{b}? \\ $$$$ \\ $$

a+b(1)=4        b−a(1)=4  a+b=4              b−a=4    2b=8                    4−a=4  b=4                              a=0
$${a}+{b}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)=\mathrm{4}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{b}−{a}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)=\mathrm{4} \\ $$$${a}+{b}=\mathrm{4}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{b}−{a}=\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{b}=\mathrm{8}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{4}−{a}=\mathrm{4} \\ $$$${b}=\mathrm{4}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{a}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$ \\ $$
