Let the function, 2 -3ax - 2, x < 1 f (x) = { 2 a + bx, x \ge 1 be differentiable for all x \in R, where a > 1, b \in R. If the area of the region enclosed by y = f (x) and the line y = -20 is \alpha + \beta\sqrt3, \alpha, \beta \in Z , then the value of \alpha + \beta is ________
Let $f(x)=\begin{cases}x-1,&x\text{ is even}\\2x,&x\text{ is odd}\end{cases}$, $x\in\mathbb{Z}$. If for some $a\in\mathbb{N}$, $f(f(f(a)))=21$, then $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to a^-}\left\{\dfrac{|x|^3}{a}-\left[\dfrac{x}{a}\right]\right\}$, where $[t]$ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to $t$, is equal to:
Let $f(x) = \begin{cases} 3x, & x < 0 \\ \min\{1+x+[x],\, x+2[x]\}, & 0 \leq x < 2 \\ 5, & x > 2 \end{cases}$ where $[\cdot]$ denotes the greatest integer function. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the number of points where $f$ is not continuous and not differentiable, respectively, then $\alpha + \beta$ equals ___
