Let the function, \(f(x)\) = \(\begin{cases} -3ax^2 - 2, & x < 1 \\a^2 + bx, & x \geq 1 \end{cases}\) Be differentiable for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \), where \( a > 1 \), \( b \in \mathbb{R} \). If the area of the region enclosed by \( y = f(x) \) and the line \( y = -20 \) is \( \alpha + \beta\sqrt{3} \), where \( \alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{Z} \), then the value of \( \alpha + \beta \) is:
A substance 'X' (1.5 g) dissolved in 150 g of a solvent 'Y' (molar mass = 300 g mol$^{-1}$) led to an elevation of the boiling point by 0.5 K. The relative lowering in the vapour pressure of the solvent 'Y' is $____________ \(\times 10^{-2}\). (nearest integer)
[Given : $K_{b}$ of the solvent = 5.0 K kg mol$^{-1}$]
Assume the solution to be dilute and no association or dissociation of X takes place in solution.
Inductance of a coil with \(10^4\) turns is \(10\,\text{mH}\) and it is connected to a DC source of \(10\,\text{V}\) with internal resistance \(10\,\Omega\). The energy density in the inductor when the current reaches \( \left(\frac{1}{e}\right) \) of its maximum value is \[ \alpha \pi \times \frac{1}{e^2}\ \text{J m}^{-3}. \] The value of \( \alpha \) is _________.
\[ (\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ \text{TmA}^{-1}) \]
A small block of mass \(m\) slides down from the top of a frictionless inclined surface, while the inclined plane is moving towards left with constant acceleration \(a_0\). The angle between the inclined plane and ground is \(\theta\) and its base length is \(L\). Assuming that initially the small block is at the top of the inclined plane, the time it takes to reach the lowest point of the inclined plane is _______. 
A function is said to be continuous at a point x = a, if
limx→a
f(x) Exists, and
limx→a
f(x) = f(a)
It implies that if the left hand limit (L.H.L), right hand limit (R.H.L) and the value of the function at x=a exists and these parameters are equal to each other, then the function f is said to be continuous at x=a.
If the function is undefined or does not exist, then we say that the function is discontinuous.
Conditions for continuity of a function: For any function to be continuous, it must meet the following conditions:
