If the function f(x)={x2,x≤cax+b,x>cf(x)=\begin{cases} x^2, & x\le c \\ ax+b, & x>c \end{cases} is differentiable at x=cx=c, then the relation between bb and cc is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Differentiability requires continuity: c2=ac+bc^2 = ac + b.

Matching the derivatives, 2c=a2c = a.

Substituting, b=c2−ac=c2−2c2=−c2b = c^2 - ac = c^2 - 2c^2 = -c^2.
