For the piecewise function g(x) = { k√(x+1), 0 ≤ x ≤ 3; mx + 2, 3 < x ≤ 5 }, if g is differentiable, what is the value of k + m?

  1. 10/3
  2. 4
  3. 2
  4. 16/5

Correct answer: 2

Solution

For the function g(x) to be differentiable at x = 3, both the function values and their derivatives must match at that point. Solving the equations derived from the continuity and differentiability conditions leads to the conclusion that k + m equals 2.
