If a function f(x)={λ(x2−2x),x≤04x+1,x>0f(x) = \begin{cases}\lambda(x^2-2x), & x \le 0\\4x+1, & x>0\end{cases} then

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The left-hand limit at 00 is λ(0−0)=0\lambda(0-0) = 0 and f(0)=0f(0)=0, for every λ\lambda.

The right-hand limit is 4(0)+1=14(0)+1 = 1.

Since 0≠10 \ne 1 regardless of λ\lambda, no value of λ\lambda makes ff continuous at x=0x=0.
