If limx→1sin3x2-4x+1-x2+12x3-7x2+ax+b=-2, then the value of a-b is equal to

Correct answer: 11

Solution

Given limx→1sin3x2−4x+1−x2+12x3−7x2+ax+b=−2    ...i

Putting x=1 in limit we get

⇒limx→1sin0-1+12-7+a+b=-2 ⇒limx→10a+b-5=-2

For limit to exist a+b-5 should be zero

so a+b-5=0 ⇒  a+b=5      ...ii

Now Using L-Hospital in equation i we get

limx→1cos3x2-4x+16x-4-2x6x2-14x+a=-2

Again putting x=1 we get

⇒limx→1cos0×6-4-26-14+a=-2

⇒limx→10a-8=-2

Again for limit to exist a-8=0⇒a=8

So from equation ii we get

8+b=5⇒b=-3

So a-b=8--3=11

Hence, the correct answer is 11.
