Question:medium
Let \(f(x) = \begin{cases} x + \alpha, & \text{if } x < 0 \\ \max(2\cos x, 2\sin x), & \text{if } x \geq 0 \end{cases}\). If \(f\) is continuous at \(x = 0\), then the value of \(\alpha\) is equal to
Let \(f(x) = \begin{cases} x + \alpha, & \text{if } x < 0 \\ \max(2\cos x, 2\sin x), & \text{if } x \geq 0 \end{cases}\). If \(f\) is continuous at \(x = 0\), then the value of \(\alpha\) is equal to
Show Hint
To find \(\max\) of two functions near a point, compare their values at that point.
